YS Jagan greets weavers

Tadepalli, August 7: Former Chief Minister and YSRCP President YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has extended his warm greetings to weavers on the occasion of National Weavers Day.
He congratulated Lakka Srinivasulu (Tirupati), on receiving Sant Kabir Award from the hands of President Droupadi Murmu. He also congratulated Karnati Murali (Chirala) and Jajare Nagaraju (Ponduru) who were given National Handloom Awards.
Talking to social media post on X, he said YSRCP Government has always stood with weavers.
Our Government has deposited Rs 24,000 annually without fail into the weavers bank accounts under Nethanna Nestham.
Our government has deposited Rs 969.77 crores towards Nethanna Nestham, Rs 1,396.45 crore Nethanna Pensions, cleared Rs 468.84 crore dues to APCO and created a record by disbursing Rs 3,706.16 crores in all for the welfare of weavers.
"We have also given free power to weavers besides providing concessions to powerlooms. We have also tie-up with e-commerce agencies for online marketing of handloom to increase the revenue of weavers."
The coalition government has stopped all the welfare schemes and has gone back on its election promises.
It has failed on its promise to reimburse GST. To implement this government needs to spend Rs 250 crores. There no provision in the two budgets.
It has also failed on its promise of providing free power up to 500 units for powerloom units and 200 units to handloom units and 16 months have passed by.
Though there is no rebate, the coalition has increased power tariff to a tune of Rs 19,000 crores and such a government can do not good to weavers.
There is only publicity hype and like all sections of people, weavers are also being cheated.
