The BRS government works for the welfare of poorer sections. The government has given pattas to tribals for 1.51 lakh acres of podu land in Kothagudem district. It was a feat no government in the past has achieved and it shows the government’s concern towards tribals.

Earlier in the day, the minister launched road widening and central lighting works in Khammam and addressed an Athmeeya Sammelanam. He said that developing Khammam was his full time task and has no other business.

Because of the development works executed in Khammam city and surrounding areas the land prices shot up phenomenally. People from other districts and States were showing interest to buy lands in Khammam, Ajay Kumar said.
