Vijayawada: Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy on Friday disbursed a financial assistance of Rs 275.93 crore into the accounts of 2,75,931 beneficiaries of YSR Vahana Mitra – at the rate of Rs 10,000 each -- for the year 2023-24.
At a programme held in Vidyadharapuram here, the Chief Minister said, “Our government functions with a kind heart and mind. The previous rulers had no heart. We have a government that works for the poor. You all know that we have implemented every promise we made in the 2019 manifesto.”
He released Rs 275.93 crore towards the fifth tranche of YSR Vahana Mithra, benefiting 2,75,931 auto, taxi, maxi cab drivers and MDU operators. The amount, Rs 10,000 each, was directly credited into their bank accounts.
Addressing a public meeting before releasing the amount, the Chief Minister asked the beneficiaries to take fitness certificates for their vehicles and pay insurance on time to ensure the safety of the passengers. “The financial assistance is intended for that particular purpose,” he said.
“Our government so far spent Rs 1,301crore under the YSR Vahana Mithra, providing an assistance of Rs 50,000 to each of the beneficiaries. This government, representing the voice of the voiceless, has spent a total of Rs 2,35,000 crore through transparent DBT schemes for the welfare of the weaker sections. What did the previous Telugu Desam government do? It pursued a policy of plunder, stash and devour and cheated all sections of the society,“ Jagan Mohan Reddy said.
The Chief Minister explained, “The government spent Rs 30,985 crore on YSR Rythu Bharosa benefitting 52,39,000 farmers, Rs 26,000 crore under Amma Vodi benefiting 44,48,000 students, Rs 19,178 crore under YSR Aasara for 80 lakh women, Rs 11,317 crore under Vidya Deevena for 26,99,000 students, Rs 4275 crore under Vasathi Deevena for 25, 17,000 students, Rs 14, 129 crore under YSR Cheyutha for 26,40,000 SC, ST, BC and minority women, Rs 982 crore under Nethanna Nestham for 82,000 handloom weaver families, Rs 538 crore under Masya kara Bharosa for 2,43,000 fishermen families, Rs 1257 crore under EBC Nestham for 4,39,000 women, Rs 2,029 crore under Kapu Nestham for 3,58,000 women, Rs 927 crore under Jagananna Chedodu for 3, 30,000 rajakas and tailors, Rs 2,956 crore under Jagananna Thodu for 15, 17,000 petty traders and Rs 5,000 crore under Sunna Vaddi for 1 crore people.”
The CM said, “In the coming elections, the war will be between the ruling YSRC that has fulfilled 99 per cent of its election promises and the opposition that threw its election manifesto into the dustbin.”
