Telangana Congress Government Expands Ration Card Distribution and Welfare Programs
Telangana's Congress government is distributing rice to over 3.4 crore beneficiaries through more than 1.06 crore ration cards, aiming to cover all eligible families. Officials highlighted welfare initiatives including smart ration cards, bonuses for millet farmers, and expanded health and transport benefits. They contrasted these efforts with challenges faced under the previous Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) regime, which they said had limited ration card access and lower-quality rice distribution. The government also plans to develop local projects and create employment opportunities.
