Harish lauds TRS govt for launching pro-poor welfare schemes

Gajwel: Lambasting the previous government in the state, Irrigation Minister T Harish Rao on Monday, said the TRS government had taken up historical decisions and introduced welfare schemes for the people in an unprecedented manner which had been impossible for the Congress government during the undivided Andhra Pradesh for decades.

He announced the sanction of Rs 1 crore in ten days for the construction of additional kitchen shed, compound wall, dining hall for the Shaadikhana at Gajwel which would be thrown open in three months.

The Minister ridiculed the reign of the Congress in the past by saying the constructions of pakka houses for poor were stalled at basement level with the sanction of mere Rs 60,000 per house and even the poor families were also suffered with half-filled stomachs with the provision of 20 kg rice per family for a month under PDS.
