In his speech, Bhatti Vikaramarka said that this government is fully committed to public welfare, out of the six guarantees promised by us, we inaugurated two of them within 48 hours of assuming office.
We have made special arrangements for receipt of applications from December 28 to January 6, from eligible beneficiaries for implementation of six assurances, we have received an overwhelming number of 1.29 crore applications.
These applications have been digitized to facilitate identification of eligible beneficiaries and for resource mobilization.
Free RTC Bus Transport Facility under Mahalakshmi Scheme was launched by our government on December 9, 2023.
The women of the State are extremely happy about this facility. To ensure smooth implementation of the scheme, we have provided funds to TSRTC to the tune of Rs. 300 crores each month and we will continue to support the scheme.
Yet another public welfare scheme, Rajiv aarogyasri has been revamped and we have doubled the limit for medical treatment from Rs. 5 lakhs to Rs. 10 lakhs.
In addition, to ensure uninterrupted medical treatment to the needy, we have released pending dues under Arogyasri.
This measure will provide the much needed succor to the patients who were adversely affected by stoppage of treatment owing to pending dues to hospitals.
Two other important promises of our government are, supply of LPG cylinders at Rs. 500 under Gruha Jyothi Scheme, 200 units of free electricity per month to all eligible consumers.
The Council of Ministers in its meeting on February 4, 2024 has approved implementation of both these schemes.
Very soon, the modalities for implementation will be finalised and schemes will be rolled out. Further, our government is committed to implement rythu Bharosa, Indiramma houses, Cheyutha and HYuva vikasam. We are committed to implementing them at the earliest.
We vow to fulfill all the promises made during the election campaign. The Warangal declaration for farmers, Youth declaration in Hyderabad, SC, ST declaration announced in Chevella, the BC declaration and Minority declaration announced in Kamareddy will be implemented. (Hydnow)
