Andhra Pradesh: Lokesh alleges dilution of Amma Vodi scheme

TDP national general secretary N. Lokesh on Friday alleged that Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy was diluting his pet project, Amma Vodi, by adding new guidelines / conditions that the beneficiaries were expected to fulfil.

In a statement, Mr. Lokesh, who is also an MLC, said the new conditions would deprive many among the existing beneficiaries of the financial assistance being given under the scheme. He slammed Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy for not talking about these “conditions” at the time of the elections.

He said households that consumed more than 300 units of power in a month were ineligible for the scheme and so were students whose attendance was below 75% from November 8 to April 30.
