Telugu Desam Party (TDP) national president N. Chandrababu Naidu has opined that a sense of insecurity is pervading among women living in Andhra Pradesh under the YSR Congress Party rule.
Speaking at the ‘Praja Vedika’ organised with women’s activists at Banaganapalli in the district on Friday, he promised to bring in radical changes in the lives of women upon coming to power.
“Maha Sakthi scheme announced by the TDP will totally transform the lives of women in the State,” Mr. Naidu said.
He assured that 20 lakh jobs would be provided for youth and ₹3,000 paid per month for every unemployed person till they get job.
To instil a sense of security and confidence, Mr. Naidu recalled that it was during his term in 1997 that the ‘Balika Sisu Samrakshana’ scheme was introduced to protect the girl child by depositing ₹5,000 in the parent’s bank account.
The sole aim of ‘Babu Surety - Bhavishyathu Ki Guarantee’ programme was to render justice to each and every family in the State, Mr. Naidu said, recalling that it was the TDP that had launched the DWCRA groups. It was NTR who had passed a legislation providing equal rights for women in property and also established a women’s university, he added.
