Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao is preparing to write personal letters to approximately 3.95 lakh beneficiaries of the TRS government's welfare schemes in the Munugode Assembly constituency, seeking their support in the by-election to be held on November 3.
CM KCR would write personal letters to recipients of several welfare schemes, including the CM Relief Fund, Rythu Bandhu, Rythu Bima, Kalyana Lakshmi/Shaadi Mubarak, KCR Kits, sheep distribution, dairy units, Dalit Bandhu, paddy procurement, and interest-free loans.
Party sources claim that since TRS came to power in 2014, around 3.95 lakh people in the Munugodu assembly constituency received benefits of Rs 10,260 crores from the Telangana government through welfare schemes.
According to party sources, the CM's letters will list the welfare schemes implemented by the TRS government since 2014 and how much each household has benefited from these schemes. The CM would ask for votes on the implementation of welfare schemes and development initiatives while highlighting the fact that the TRS government did not exclude any group from receiving benefits from welfare plans, including poorer sections in forwarding castes.
