CM KCR assures to issue new ration cards as well as Aasara pensions very shortly

Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao announced that the unit cost for sheep being distributed to eligible beneficiaries in the State, will be increased in accordance with the rising cost of sheep in the market. He also assured to issue new ration cards as well as Aasara pensions, besides resolving the long pending issue of the Podu lands shortly.

Addressing the public meeting at Haliya on Wednesday, the Chief Minister explained about the numerous welfare and development programmes taken up by the State government in the last six and half years comparing it with the previous regimes. 

He pointed out that the results of Rythu Bandhu, Rythu Bima, Kalyana Lakshmi/Shaadi Mubarak, Mission Bhagiratha, sheep distribution and several other schemes, were before the people to witness and experience their benefits. He stated that the TRS government was releasing funds under various schemes like Aasara pensions and Rythu Bandhu directly into the bank accounts of the beneficiaries which would not have been possible during the Congress regime.

Rao said the TRS government had put an end to the fluorosis crisis in erstwhile Nalgonda district with effective implementation of Mission Bhagiratha and supplying drinking



water to every household through tap connections. He stated that the tanks were filled to the brim even during the peak summer due to various irrigation projects taken up by the State government and paddy was being cultivated in about 52.78 lakh acres during this Yasangi season in the State which was highest in the country.

“The TRS government is treating all religions with equal respect and had empowered the tribals by upgrading the tribal hamlets into gram panchayats, realising their demand for self-rule. Besides addressing the issues of all categories of employees and teachers, we are developing villages with all basic infrastructure including Prakruthi Vanams, tanks, and Vaikuntadhamams among others.

Chandrashekhar Rao recalled his association with Nagarjuna Sagar sitting MLA late Nomula Narasimhaiah and termed his untimely death as a great loss for himself personally and to people of Nagarjuna Sagar constituency. 

He recalled that Narasimhaiah always took part in various movements and fought for the people. He assured that Narasimhaiah’s son Bhagath also was being fielded on behalf of TRS to serve people of the Nagarjuna Sagar constituency.
