Welfare schemes will help Cong in by-polls: TGV

The Welfare Schemes and jobs to youth will enable the Congress to sweep the by-elections in all the 24 constituencies, according to Minor Irrigation Minister T G Venkatesh.

“Congress will go to polls on the plank of Welfare Schemes it has launched for poor and downtrodden, three lakh jobs for youth under Rajiv Yuva Kiranalu and execution of irrigation projects in the state,’ he told reporters after releasing New Year calendar at a programme in the city.

He hoped the people, who benefitted from the government schemes and programmes, would repose their faith by electing the Congress candidates in the bye-elections.

“The Chief Minister has been putting in complete efforts to bring in a favourable atmosphere in the state by focusing his attention on corruption-free governance and transparency. He has handled every situation well, including the Telangana agitation by opening up a dialogue with employees in the region,”, he pointed out.

TRS president K Chandrasekhar Rao can launch hunger strike in 2013 as a pre-poll gimmick, he said adding that people are interested action and results and not strikes and dharnas.
