Congress Party’s Electoral Promise
If the Congress party secures victory in the assembly elections, they commit to implementing six guarantees promptly upon assuming power.
Women’s Welfare Initiatives
Under Chief Minister Revant Reddy’s leadership, the Congress government in Telangana is prioritizing women’s welfare. This includes increasing free travel on RTC buses to Rs 10 lakh for women and implementing key guarantees within a hundred days.
Mahalakshmi Scheme Implementation
As part of the six guarantees, the Congress promises financial assistance of Rs 2,500 per month through the Mahalakshmi Scheme. Revant Sarkar aims to roll out the scheme by the end of January, already issuing orders for authorities to deposit the amount into eligible women’s accounts.
Regional Implementation and Cost Analysis
Similar welfare schemes in Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh serve as models for the Congress government. CM Revant Reddy instructs authorities to study these schemes, assess costs, and select beneficiaries based on public applications.
Timely Implementation Challenges
Concerns arise about potential delays in implementing schemes due to Lok Sabha elections. Revant Sarkar emphasizes the urgency, aiming to prevent targeting during the elections and swiftly fulfill the six guarantees, including a gas cylinder scheme.
Ensuring Swift Implementation
To avoid delays, the Congress government expedites the data entry process for guarantee applications and issues orders for financial assistance distribution. Revant Sarkar’s proactive approach aims to fulfill the promises within a hundred days, showcasing their commitment to rapid implementation.
