Congress government deceived women with false promises, says Kavitha
The BRS MLC highlights the government's failure to fulfil its promise to provide Rs 2,500 per month to every woman
Hyderabad: Stating that Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy was betraying almost every section of society, BRS MLC and Telangana Jagruthi president K Kavitha sounded a stern warning to the Congress government that it would have to face serious consequences if it failed to fulfil the promises made to the women of the State.
Highlighting the Congress government’s failure to fulfil its promise to provide Rs 2,500 per month to every woman, she said even after being in power for 14 months, the promise was not implemented. She pointed out that the pendency on this count alone amounted to Rs 35,000 to each woman. Kavitha demanded that this promise be fulfilled by Women’s Day.
She criticised the government for not delivering on other promises such as providing a tola of gold (10 grams) and free scooters to girls. Kavitha acknowledged the free bus travel initiative for women but suggested that the government should increase the number of buses to make public transport more accessible. She noted that promises of Indiramma houses for women and Sankranti rice had not been fulfilled. She also demanded an immediate increase in pensions to Rs.4,000 as promised by the Congress Party.
During a meeting with the women’s wing of Telangana Jagruthi at her residence, Kavitha discussed strategies to pressurise the government to fulfil these promises. She criticised Revanth Reddy for deceiving women with false promises and showing disrespect towards them. She concluded by stating that if the government does not announce a plan for fulfilling these promises by Women’s Day, they would launch a public movement.
