Telangana Government's Welfare Schemes Under Fire from Union Minister

Union Minister of State for Home Bandi Sanjay Kumar has launched a scathing attack on Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi and the Congress government in Telangana. He termed the recently launched'Gig Workers'welfare scheme as a mere'political drama'and questioned the credibility of the government, which has reportedly failed to deliver on its previous welfare promises. Speaking to the media in Hyderabad on Saturday, Bandi Sanjay described Rahul Gandhi's promise of health security for gig workers as a "big joke" and challenged the Congress to explain what happened to its guarantees that have not been fulfilled so far. The Union Minister cornered the Congress government on the implementation of welfare schemes. He alleged that the'Arogyasri'scheme is not getting funds and the health cards issued for government employees, contract workers, outsourcing staff and journalists are not working properly. He questioned how the government could implement'Bandi Workers'when auto drivers have been sued for promises made to them and'Health Guarantees'have been given to them before the elections.
