Indiramma Abhayam scheme will be a boon for the poor in the State, says Y. S. Sharmila

The Indiramma Abhayam scheme designed by the Congress will be a boon for the inflation-battered below poverty line population in the State, said Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee president Y.S. Sharmila.

Addressing a gathering after formal launch of the Indiramma Abhayam scheme app at Kondapalli Putlamma Gattu in Ibrahimpatnam mandal of NTR district on Saturday, Ms. Sharmila said the party would reach out to the lesser privileged sections by depositing a monthly sum of ₹5,000 into the accounts of the women of the house.

“I understand what kind of sacrifices the women of the house make to put food on the table. I can feel their pain and anguish,” she said, adding that her party wanted to mitigate the financial woes of such households. “If you want to benefit from this scheme, please support the Congress in the forthcoming elections,” she appealed.
