YSRCP Slams Govt Over Pension Cuts, Citing Vulnerable Distress
The YSRCP party is criticizing the new government for taking away pensions from elderly and disabled people.
They claim the government is removing many people from the pension rolls.
The YSRCP says that under their previous leadership, more people received pensions, including disabled individuals.
They are upset because they believe the government is reducing support for vulnerable people by re-evaluating who gets pensions.
YSRCP accuses the Chandrababu Naidu government of cutting social security and disability pensions.
Over 4.15 lakh old-age pensions have reportedly been removed in 14 months.
Nearly two lakh disability pensions are expected to be scrapped next month.
YSRCP claims the government is using re-verification to disqualify beneficiaries.
Reddy contrasts the current cuts with YSRCP’s expanded pension coverage.
