Jagan Alleges Decline in SHG Credit Growth and Interest Subsidy Under TDP Government in Andhra Pradesh
YSRCP leader Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy accused the TDP-led Andhra Pradesh government of failing to maintain interest subvention support for Self Help Group (SHG) loans, alleging a decline in credit growth from nearly ₹50,000 crore in 2023-24 to around ₹41,000 crore in 2025-26. He claimed women beneficiaries lost nearly ₹6,000 crore in subsidies over two years and linked reduced SHG credit to rural economic distress. Jagan highlighted his previous administration's ₹4,969 crore interest subvention and welfare programs aiding women’s financial independence. The TDP has not responded to these allegations.
