Pension Distribution In AP: No Buzz Around The Program?
Before the elections, TDP said the pension amount would be increased to help the beneficiaries
By: Tupaki Desk | 1 July 2024 10:35 AM GMTBefore the elections, TDP said the pension amount would be increased to help the beneficiaries. The YCP earlier said that the promise would not be implemented, alleging that Chandrababu Naidu has a history of forgetting the promises. But Chandrababu Naidu proved everyone wrong.
Under the NTR Bharosa scheme, beneficiaries are handed over the pension. However, it looks like there is no buzz around this. TDP is holding the program on a big scale and its supporters are trying to highlight the program. However, observers say that there is no buzz around this.
The observers say that people always want change no matter what. They are ready to buy new kinds of safety pins rather than old ones even if the rates are reduced. This is the way people look at things.
Talking about the pension distribution program observers say that people are seeing this as a normal thing as just the money was increased. Pensions have been distributed to people for a long time and the TDP increased the amount they get under the scheme.
People think that there is no need to make noise on this as what the government did is just increase the amount. People want new things every time and it is not easy to come up with new things every time.
As the pension is the old scheme and just the amount is increased, people are not interested in the meeting. With no interest in the program, there is no buzz. Despite TDP seeing this as a big step in implementing the schemes, there is no buzz on the ground.
On this occasion, a comparison is being made with what the previous government did. We have seen people attending the distribution programs in big numbers. The reason is that Jagan presented the schemes in a new way. He said the schemes are implemented under the Navaratnalu schemes.
None of us heard of this earlier and the YCP government promoted the schemes saying that they were doing welfare like no one else did. Moreover, massive events were held in the state by YCP to distribute the schemes. This might have also played a role in this.
