Moreover, union ministers had also appreciated Telangana’s schemes in the Parliament as well as outside the House. However, the same ministers were criticizing the State government for the sake of politics, he said, adding that the people were watching everything.

Stating that Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao would not go back on his promises, Vinod Kumar said the path for the welfare and development would be laid once the Chief Minister gave his word.

Besides 5.69 lakh Aasara pensions, a pension of Rs 3,116 for differently-abled persons had been enhanced to Rs 4,116. The BRS Government would further enhance this to Rs 6,116, he said.
