Revanth Reddy rolls out two new Guarantees:- Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy of the Congress government recently introduced two new guarantees aimed at providing affordable domestic LPG cylinders and free power supply to households in the state. These initiatives are part of the party's promise to implement six guarantees made during the recent assembly elections. Reddy highlighted the government's swift actions in fulfilling earlier guarantees such as free bus travel for women and increased healthcare expenditure limits under the Arogyasri scheme.
Emphasizing the commitment to fulfill all promises made to the public, Reddy mentioned that the goal is to create a Telangana model for welfare schemes that can serve as a benchmark for other states. The phased implementation of these guarantees takes into account the state's financial situation, with efforts made to reduce unnecessary expenses and maintain financial discipline to ensure the effective execution of these welfare programs.

However, criticism from BRS working president K T Rama Rao surfaced, accusing the Congress government of limiting the schemes' reach to only a select few beneficiaries. Rao expressed dissatisfaction with the government's approach and warned of increased agitation if all guarantees are not met. Despite these challenges, the government highlighted extensive research and consultations done by the civil supplies and energy departments to develop the modalities for the schemes, with beneficiaries already identified from applications received during the Praja Palana program. As the administration moves forward with its welfare initiatives, the political landscape in Telangana remains dynamic, with tensions rising between the ruling Congress government and the opposition party. The successful implementation of these guarantees will likely shape public opinion and could have significant implications for future elections in the state.
