Telangana minister says no room for politics in welfare schemes

In the state of Telangana in India, a leader named Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy gave a speech.

He is the minister in charge of revenue for the state government.

He said that welfare schemes, which help poor people, should be run without any politics.

He talked about things the government gives for free, like electricity and bus rides for women.

He said the previous government did not give out new ration cards, which people use to get food.

He also said new pensions will start being approved on August 15.

He promised that every eligible person will get help.
