'Govt failed to solve problems of the disabled'

Khammam: Continuing her tirade against the State Government, YSRCP leader Sharmila alleged that Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy had failed in addressing the problems of physically challenged persons. As part of her second day Pada Yatra in Khammam district on Tuesday, she held a Rachabanda programme at Cheruvu Madaram village of Nelakondapalli mandal. During the meet, the villagers complained to her that they were not getting the pensions promptly and new pensions had not been sanctioned to their village since the death of former Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy. On the occasion, Sharmila said that Rs 1,000 would be given to all pensioners if the YSRCP voted to power in 2014 General elections. She said that farmers were facing untold miseries due to lack of remunerative price for their produce and the State Government had failed in addressing their problems. On the day, Sharmila launched her padayatra at Vallabhi village and concluded at Ajay Thanda after covering Rayagudem, Buddaram and Cheruvu Madaram villages. YSRCP leaders Macha Srinivas, Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy and others were present.
