The ruling YSRCP accuses Chandrababu Naidu of obstructing Chief Minister Jagan’s efforts to disburse funds directly to beneficiaries. On the other hand, Naidu’s TDP alleges that YSRCP’s mismanagement is to blame for the delays in welfare schemes.
As the war of words escalates, the real victims are the people of Andhra Pradesh, particularly the elderly, women, students, and farmers, who are left in limbo without their much-needed financial assistance. The Asara scheme, Cheyuta scheme, and other support programs have hit a roadblock, causing significant distress among the populace.
While Jagan’s government claims to have the funds ready for disbursement via Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT), the Election Commission’s intervention under the pretext of the electoral code has stalled the process. YSRCP accuses Naidu of influencing the EC’s decision, while TDP shifts the blame back, alleging mismanagement and political maneuvering by YSRCP.
The situation has left beneficiaries in dire straits, with promised funds withheld and their livelihoods hanging in the balance. YSRCP continues to appeal to the EC to lift the restrictions, emphasizing the urgency of the matter in providing relief to millions of beneficiaries.
The political impasse not only highlights the bitter rivalry between the two parties but also underscores the plight of the common people caught in the crossfire of political maneuvering. As the deadlock persists, the fate of welfare funds remains uncertain, leaving the vulnerable population at the mercy of political agendas.
