Congress not serious about six promises, charges BJP RS MP Laxman

The Government is ‘not serious’ about implementing six guarantees promised before the elections and now wants to postpone the same till the Parliament elections thereby cheating the people, charged Rajya Sabha MP K. Laxman on Monday.

At a press conference at the State office, he accused the Government led by Chief Minister Revanth Reddy linking the the welfare schemes with the Congress Party performance in the Lok Sabha elections instead of following the 100 days schedule as announced during the polls.

“Their promised guarantees alone will cost about ₹1.50 lakh crore but their interim budget shows allocation for up to ₹53, 000 crore only has been made. What does it indicate? There is no mention of the farmers loan waiver or the monthly ₹2,500 pension for women under ‘Mahalakshmi’ scheme or about the stipend for the unemployed youth,” he claimed.
