Chandrababu Overtakes KCR
N. Chandrababu Naidu has been all about walking the talk without even a survey, while his counterpart Telangana State Chief Minister, K. Chandrasekhar Rao has been conducting endless talks about streamlining welfare schemes and subsidies, but is yet to implement them.
Hyderabad: N. Chandrababu Naidu has been all about walking the talk without even a survey, while his counterpart Telangana State Chief Minister, K. Chandrasekhar Rao has been conducting endless talks about streamlining welfare schemes and subsidies, but is yet to implement them.
Mr Naidu is using Aadhaar data to weed out ineligible and bogus beneficiaries in all government schemes, from ration cards to pensions to fee reimbursement.Around 3 to 4 lakh “ineligible” pensioners have already been removed in AP.
In fact, there have been many protests during “Janmabhoomi” programmes regarding removal of pensions for petty lapses, like wrong gender being mentioned in Aadhaar cards, in spite of the beneficiaries drawing pension for the past decade.
Advisor (communications) to AP government, Parakala Prabhakar, said, “Existing and eligible pensioners are being brought in. Several applications are being filed again. The Comptroller and Auditor General found more than 4,000 men drawing widow pensions.”
He said the state had formed six-member committees at the village level for addressing the complaints. Vehicle registrations and driving licenses will also be linked with Aadhar cards soon, he said.
