The ruling YSR Congress Party has raised hopes among women and youth voters on Ammavodi and Grama Volunteer jobs in villages and towns. Now, there are rumours that Ammavodi Rs 15,000 per year will be given to only a select list of beneficiaries. The government is getting details of specific sections of families and their financial status.
Attracted by Jaganmohan Reddy promises, most voters from poor families supported YCP. But now there’s a fear that the YCP local leaders may create hurdles in getting these benefits. Jagan promised to fill 4 lakh Grama Volunteer jobs but now only 1.7 lakh youth are getting chance. There is lot of craze for these government posts among rural youth though they give only Rs 5000 per month which is seen as a good enough amount.
