Telangana Leaders Debate Welfare Measures for Persons with Disabilities
In Telangana, Minister Adluri Laxman Kumar defended the Congress government's efforts for persons with disabilities (PwDs), citing distribution of aids worth ₹50 crore and housing priority under the Indiramma Scheme. He challenged BRS leader T. Harish Rao's allegations of neglect. Rao countered, highlighting the previous BRS regime's increased pensions, reservations, and national recognition for PwD welfare, accusing the current government of failing to fulfill promises like enhanced pensions and free bus travel. Both sides dispute each other's record on PwD support.
