‘Govt. spending ₹2,766 crore per year on extending ration to the needy’
Finance Minister T. Harish Rao said that Telangana is the only State extending ration to 90.5% people so that nobody stays hungry. Participating in several programmes at Gajwel, Siddipet and Dubbak, along with Lok Sabha member K. Prabhakar Reddy, on Wednesday, Mr. Harish Rao said that over 3.09 lakh new ration cards were issued in the State benefiting about 2.88 lakh people. “We are spending ₹2,766 crore per year on extending ration to the needy. The welfare schemes like Kalyana Lakshmi, Shaadi Mubarak, Rythu Bandhu and Rythu Beema are implemented beyond political lines. Even during COVID, we have worked relentlessly for the welfare of people,” he said, adding that criticising welfare schemes was not right on the part of Opposition parties and it was nothing but ridiculing poor people.More Related News
