'Opposition conspiring'
Addressing a public meeting held as part of the distribution of Indiramma housing sanction letters in the Madhira assembly constituency, Bhatti noted that of the 1.1 crore families in Telangana, approximately 93 lakh are benefiting from one or more welfare schemes implemented by the Congress govt.
"The opposition is fearful and conspiring against us because our welfare programmes are transforming the lives of the poor for the better. Regardless of their conspiracies, this govt will continue to work tirelessly for the people. The aspirations of the poor can only be realised through the Congress govt," he said.
He added that had the previous BRS govt fulfilled its promise to build 2-BHK homes for the poor during its 10-year tenure, there would have been no need for the current administration to invest thousands of crores in the Indiramma Housing Scheme.
The present govt, he asserted, will boost revenues and channel them into welfare initiatives, enabling the poor to live with dignity.
He further stated that 93 lakh families across the state are currently receiving fine rice free of cost through fair price shops. "We are providing gas cylinders at 500 each and supplying free electricity up to 200 units for the poor. The govt is also distributing Cheyutha monthly pensions to the elderly, persons with disabilities, and single women," he added.

Rahul Gandhi to kickstart 'Voter Adhikar Yatra' from Bihar's Sasaram today
Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi will on Sunday begin from here his 1,300 km-long 'Voter Adhikar Yatra' that will cover over 20 districts in Bihar, as the Congress steps up its campaign against what it claims to be "vote chori". With the Assembly polls barely three months away, Gandhi, along with RJD's Tejashwi Yadav and other Mahagathbandhan leaders, will launch the yatra from BIADA Ground Sasaram, and after 16 days, the yatra will conclude with a rally in Patna on September 1. Gandhi is also expected to address a gathering later this evening at Ramesh Chowk, Aurangabad. In a post in Hindi on X on Saturday, Gandhi had said, "16 days, 20+ districts, 1,300+ km. We are coming among the people with the Voter Adhikar Yatra. This is a fight to protect the most basic democratic right - 'one person, one vote'." "Join us in Bihar to save the Constitution," he added. The 'yatra' will be in a hybrid mode, on foot and by vehicle, as was Gandhi's Manipur to Mumbai Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra ahead of the Lok Sabha polls, party leaders said. Addressing a press conference in New Delhi on Saturday, Congress' media and publicity department head Pawan Khera had claimed that the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) had actually "exposed" the designs of the BJP to disenfranchise lakhs of voters belonging to the Dalit, Adivasi and minority communities, poor people and daily wagers. He had alleged that it was a conspiracy to not only steal our votes, but also steal our identity. "Today they will snatch the underprivileged people's right to vote, tomorrow they will refuse them the share in government schemes like free food and housing," he had claimed. Khera had also said that the Election Commission becoming like one of the "compartments" of the BJP's so called "double engine" was unacceptable and the Congress will not let that happen. "Whenever Rahul Gandhi ji has set out for a yatra, the democracy of this country has turned a page. 'Voter Adhikar Yatra' will be a historic march. It will prove to be a milestone in the history of our democracy," he had said. The 'yatra' will pass through Aurangabad, Gaya, Nawada, Nalanda, Sheikhpura, Lakhisarai, Munger, Bhagalpur, Katihar, Purnea, Araria, Supaul, Madhubani, Darbhanga, Sitamarhi, East Champaran, West Champaran, Gopalganj, Siwan, Chapra and Ara.
