"While the government is implementing many initiatives for the benefit of the communities while treating all religions equally, the pro TDP batch is distorting the facts and spreading false propaganda against the Chief Minister and the government." Deputy CM said

Government subsidies for pilgrimage are not a newly implemented program. Governments have been performing this process for decades. At a ministerial meeting last October 30, we decided to increase concessions to Christian and minority brothers on pilgrimages. The annual allowance for pilgrims going to Hajj and Jerusalem is Rs. 40,000 to Rs.60000 The state cabinet has decided to increase the amount of assistance from Rs. 20,000 to Rs. 30000.

The respective government departments issue the above decisions. The propaganda of attributing religion to the Chief Minister and the government is widely spread. He said that people are noticing all these false propaganda.
