Telangana BJP Accuses Congress of Betraying Persons with Disabilities
The Telangana BJP leaders are saying that the new Congress government is not helping people with disabilities, even though they promised to.
The BJP says the Congress didn't increase their monthly money (pensions) like they said they would, and they also haven't given out special equipment or made sure there are enough jobs for people with disabilities.
The BJP leaders point out that the central government, led by Prime Minister Modi, has helped people with disabilities by giving them wheelchairs, hearing aids, and job opportunities in government places.
They are asking people with disabilities to vote against the Congress in the upcoming election because they believe the BJP is the only party that truly cares about them.
Telangana BJP President N Ramchander Rao accused the Congress government of betraying persons with disabilities.
Disabled citizens claim the Congress government failed to increase monthly pensions from Rs 4,000 to Rs 6,000.
Allegations include non-distribution of promised assistive equipment and absence of a dedicated employment quota.
BJP contrasted this with central government initiatives like free tricycles, hearing aids, and job reservations for Divyangs.
The BJP urged persons with disabilities to teach the Congress a lesson in the upcoming Jubilee Hills by-election.
