Jobless to get Rs 3,000 pension if Congress comes to power: TPCC chief

Hyderabad: TPCC president N. Uttam Kumar Reddy on Tuesday said that all eligible unemployed would be given Rs 3,000 per month if the Congress comes to power in 2019.

Addressing a meeting to mark the culmination of the NSUI of India padayatra at Shadnagar in Ranga Reddy district on Tuesday evening, the TPCC chief said despite agitations and appeals to release fee reimbursement for the eligible students in the state, the TRS government has not just failed to release the funds, but had sanctioned Rs 25,000 crore for irrigation and Mission Bhagiratha schemes only to benefit contractors.

Accusing Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao for failing to implement his promises like providing jobs to each and every household, KG-to-PG free education, providing all amenities in government-run welfare hostels for SCs, STs, BCs and minorities, the TPCC chief said that the people will teach him a lesson in the coming elections.
