Hyderabad: Telangana chief minister A Revanth Reddy on Tuesday launched two more Guarantees- Mahalakshmi and Gruha Jyothi at the state secretariat.
Under Mahalakshmi cooking gas cylinders will be supplied for Rs 500 and under Gruha Jyothi, power will be supplied for free power supply up to 200 units to the poor.
While Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi was supposed to attend the launch of two guarantees, her programme to Telangana was canceled at the last moment.
“ AICC leader Sonia Gandhi announced the Six Guarantees during the elections to bring cheers in the lives of the poor in Telangana State. People reposed faith in Sonia Gandhi and gave a big mandate to Congress in the elections. The main objective of ‘Praja Palana’ is to extend the scheme benefits to the deserving. The government launched 200 units of free electricity supply and gas cylinder schemes for Rs.500 today,” he said.
Revanth Reddy added that the government formally launched the schemes in the Secretariat due to the enforcement of the MLC election code. Started Rs.500 gas cylinder scheme to see happiness in women's eyes, he added.
He also said that the government had formulated certain procedures to ensure that the scheme benefits reach the poor.
“On one side , the government adopted strict financial discipline and the other side implemented all the promises made to the people. The government is committed to fulfill all the assurances. Father, son and nephew ( KCR, KTR and Harish Rao) are spreading canards against the government. Sonia Gandhi made the promise and the government will fulfill them,” said the chief minister.
