Andhra Pradesh: Over ₹32,000 crore spent on Kapu welfare, says Jagan

Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy on Friday claimed that ₹32,296 crore, including ₹16,256 crore through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT), had been spent for the welfare of Kapu community over the past three years in the State. 

Mr. Jagan deposited ₹508 crore to 3.38 lakh women belonging to the Kapu, Ontari, Balija and Telaga communities under the third-phase YSR Kapu Nestham scheme here on Friday by clicking a button. 

Addressing the gathering at a public meeting, Mr. Jagan alleged that the budgets presented during N. Chandrababu Naidu’s regime were “magical” on the welfare of the Kapus. The present government had released ₹1,492 crore through YSR Kapu Nestham alone since 2019, he claimed.
