₹10,120 crore given away to 42,70,842 mothers under Thalliki Vandanam, says TDP leader
TDP leader Kalava Srinivasulu announced that the Andhra Pradesh government has distributed ₹10,120 crore to over 4.2 million mothers under the Thalliki Vandanam scheme. The official contrasted this with the previous YSRCP administration, claiming the current coalition government has expanded the reach and transparency of the educational financial aid program.
Why it matters
This highlights the ongoing political competition in Andhra Pradesh regarding welfare delivery and the fulfillment of election promises.
TDP Politburo member Kalava Srinivasulu has said that the coalition government has successfully implemented the Thalliki Vandanam scheme for the second consecutive year, in stark contrast to the mere pressing of buttons during the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) regime.
Addressing the media at the TDP central office on Wednesday, Mr. Srinivasulu said the government has credited ₹10,120 crore directly into the bank accounts of approximately 42,70,842 mothers under the scheme to benefit 67,47,190 students, without any scope for corruption.
He noted that the possibility of children discontinuing education due to financial constraints was high in poor families having two or three children, and this has gone due to the implementation of Thalliki Vandanam , which was one of the ‘Super Six’ promises made during the 2024 elections.
