YSRCP former MLA Kasu Mahesh Reddy has drawn attention to welfare and employment promises he says were made after the TDP government came to power in Andhra Pradesh under the leadership of Chandrababu Naidu.

Speaking from Palnadu, Reddy referred to the period since the government's formation and focused on two commitments made to people in the state. His remarks concerned monthly financial support for women and assistance for unemployed youth.

Aadabidda Nidhi promise

Reddy said the first poll promise he was discussing was the Aadabidda Nidhi scheme. According to his statement, women in Andhra Pradesh were promised ₹1,500 every month for their children's welfare and education.

The former MLA presented the payment as a commitment directed at women and linked to household support, children's welfare and education. His remarks did not provide details about whether the scheme had been implemented, nor did they give figures for beneficiaries or payments made.

Unemployment assistance promise

Reddy also referred to a commitment concerning people without jobs in Andhra Pradesh. He said the promise was to provide 20 lakh jobs and, until that target was achieved, pay unemployed youth ₹3,000 per month under Nirudyoga Bhruthi.

He described Nirudyoga Bhruthi as a pension-like scheme for unemployed youth. His statement did not specify eligibility conditions, the number of people covered, or the current status of the promised payments and employment target.

The remarks therefore set out Reddy's account of the commitments rather than independently establishing whether either promise has been fulfilled. The available statement contains no response from the TDP government or Chandrababu Naidu on the claims.

Conclusion

Reddy's statement centres on two promises: ₹1,500 monthly under Aadabidda Nidhi for women's children's welfare and education, and ₹3,000 monthly for unemployed youth until 20 lakh jobs are provided.
