Everyone is astonished by the election 2024 promise to pay Rs. 5,000 for each family in the state of Andhra Pradesh by the National Congress party chief Malikarjun Kharge. Can anybody trust the fake promise of the Congress Guarantee that can’t be adhered to, which costs the state exchequer exclusively for this programme alone at Rs. 54000 crore per annum, and where are the funds to implement it?
As of now, Chief Minister YS Jagan led YSRCP Government ruined the State for his unproductive expenditure (Present AP Congress party head YS Sharmila also equally responsible since She was the Star campaigner for YS Jagan’s led YSRCP in 2019 Elections) and Now YS Sharmila has stepped in the shoes of the Congress due to the family property sharing issues between the son and daughter of YS Rajasekhar Reddy and Vijayamma.
Whereas the Congress has been continuing its betrayal on Andhra Pradesh to bankrupt the State by continuing YS Jagan’s modes operandi in the administration, as the Congress party and YSRCP are both sides of the same coin in the State of Andhra Pradesh. We can recognise the BPL families in Andhra Pradesh as per the Union Government’s Gareeb Kalyan Anna Yojana program are 90 lakh families consisting of 2.67 crore individuals.
A) Congress Fake Guarantee (Promise) : Rs 5000 per Family per month as declared by the Congress party National President:
Monthly Outlay required for this programme: 9000000 x 5000 = 4,500 Crores per month. Yearly Outlay required for this programme: 4500 Cr x 12 = 54000 Crores per annum.

Above data with fully loaded facts that already happened as “Trusted Modi’s Guarantee” for the welfare of the poor and needed in the State of Andhra Pradesh with the true spirit of Antyodaya for the “Vikasit Andhra Pradesh”. On the other hand, Congress Fake Guarantee is promise for betraying the people of Andhra Pradesh again like United Andhra Pradesh bifurcation in unscientific manner and lacuna in the provisions of the Schedule XIII in the AP Reorganisation Act with the conditions of “Feasibility Study” for the Projects and Infrastructure facilities set up in the Andhra Pradesh after bifurcation. Finally, Congress always thinks Andhra Pradesh as the “ Residuary State “, But BJP intends to make the Andhra Pradesh as the major part in the “Viksit Bharat”.
Finally, Modi mark Finance and Economy tries to learn the people for catching the fish, but doesn’t gift the fish at free of cost every day. It means, Narendra Modi led union government initially allows welfare schemes on the need basis with the empowerment for BPL families to earn by themselves Rs. 15,000 per month to become them as self reliant with the schemes like Gareeb Kalyan Anna Yojana, PMAY, Ayushman Bharat, Jal Jeevan Mission, Kisan Samman Nidhi, PM Svanidhi, PM Vishwakarma and encouraging Micro business entrepreneurs in all sectors rather than distributing Rs. 5,000/- per month to make burden on government exchequer permanently.
