Election Preparations and Manifestos in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh
With the upcoming elections drawing closer, the ruling parties in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh are busy crafting new plans and goals for their campaigns. In Telangana, the race for the elections has already begun, while in Andhra Pradesh, Chief Minister (CM) Jagan is actively working on his election promises.
Telangana’s Election Rush
Telangana is experiencing a surge of election-related activities as the election date approaches. Parties are getting ready to unveil their manifestos and present their vision for the future.
CM Jagan’s Plans in Andhra Pradesh
Meanwhile, in Andhra Pradesh, CM Jagan is also in the process of formulating his election manifestos. These manifestos will outline the policies and initiatives he aims to undertake if his party wins the election.
Proposed Changes in Volunteer Salaries and Old Age Pensions
One of the significant considerations in CM Jagan’s manifestos involves proposed changes to volunteer salaries and old age pensions. There are discussions about raising the salaries of volunteers and increasing old age pensions to four thousand rupees.
Volunteers’ Demand for Higher Salaries
In the past, volunteers have protested and held sit-ins demanding higher salaries. However, their demands were not met. Presently, there is uncertainty among the volunteers about whether they will vote in the upcoming elections. They are seeking a commitment from the political parties that they will receive a guaranteed salary of ten thousand rupees.
Old Age Pensions: A Continuing Concern
The topic of old age pensions is also a focal point. Before the previous election, CM Jagan promised to increase the pension amount over a period of four and a half years, aiming for it to reach 3,000 rupees. Currently, the pension stands at 2,750 rupees. There are plans to reach the 3,000 rupees mark before the elections, and there is speculation about the potential for further increasing it to four thousand rupees.
In conclusion, the upcoming elections have spurred preparations and manifestos from both ruling parties. Key issues like volunteer salaries and old age pensions are under scrutiny, as political leaders strive to make appealing promises to the electorate.
