The Jaganmohan Reddy government has decided to make the distribution of welfare benefits a memorable event every year. Jagan is continuing his populist agenda even after 2019 elections with his vision mainly fixed to win 2024 polls. To get people’s attention to this, Jagan has decided to celebrate his father YSR’s birthday (July 8) as the Andhra Rythu Dinotsavam. The day will be held like a festival for distributing massive welfare benefits to poor people.
The YCP cadres are enthused greatly at the new concept of Rythu Dinotsavam. On this day, the welfare social benefits like Rs. 2,250 for the aged persons will be distributed. In future, the other benefits like crop investment assistance under Rythu Bharosa will also be given on this day.
CM Jagan has instructed the Ministers, MLAs and officials to effective inform the people how their government is giving top priority to their welfare. The YCP is doing far more compared to the TDP. The previous government gave just Rs. 1,000 for four and half years towards social pensions. But it was increased to Rs. 2,000 in the last year of elections. But YCP has increased it to Rs. 2,250 and it will be further increased by Rs. 250 every year till it becomes Rs. 3,000 by 2024.
