Naidu Should Assure DWCRA Groups

Hyderabad: YSR Congress has demanded that the Chief Minister
should give a statement assuring the DWCRA groups that their loans would be
waived to instill confidence in them as many groups are getting court notices.

‘They have been getting bank notices earlier but now they
are getting court notices as they became defaulters after they believed the
promises of Chandrababu Naidu that their loans would be waived and they can
redeem their gold pawned in the banks,’ party spokesperson Vasireddy Padma told
reporters here on Tuesday.

The women are scarred with the notices as majority of the DWCRA
groups are now degraded from Category A to Category C as they became defaulters
believing Chandrababu Naidu’s election promises.

The 7.62 DWCRA groups owe about Rs 14,700 crores and the
state has given just Rs 3,000 revolving fund which serves no purpose and has
been pushing the women towards private money lenders which in turn has giving a
fillip to the call money racket, she said.

It is time that the Chief Minister give an assurance to the
women groups that the loans would be waived which will instill confidence among
them as they are shattered by the notices from banks and courts, she said.
