Congress Fulfilling People's Aspirations, Says Telangana Minister Ponguleti
A leader from the Congress government in Telangana spoke about how the government is helping people.
His name is Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy, and he is the Revenue Minister.
He started building a new road that will cost about 1.76 crore rupees.
The minister said the government is keeping its promises to the people.
He criticized the old government for not building enough houses.
Now, under the Indiramma Housing Scheme, eight lakh houses are being built.
Families also get free electricity and women can ride government buses for free.
Farmers are getting money from the Rythu Bharosa scheme and a fair price for their rice.
The minister even plowed a field with a bullock to show his support for farmers.
Revenue Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy laid the foundation stone for a Rs 1.76 crore BT road in Kusumanchi mandal, Khammam district.
He said the Congress government has fulfilled its promises and ensured welfare and development benefits reach every household in Telangana.
Ponguleti alleged the previous BRS government kept housing in cold storage, while Congress revived the Indiramma Housing Scheme with eight lakh sanctioned houses.
Welfare measures cited include free electricity up to 200 units, free TGSRTC travel for women, and distribution of three months' ration.
Farmers received Rs 6,000 per acre under Rythu Bharosa, with paddy procured at MSP plus Rs 500 per quintal for fine varieties.
