As the pressure is mounting on Chandrababu Naidu led NDA government in Andhra Pradesh to fulfil the poll promises made before the assembly elections, there is a talk in political circles that at least two schemes will be rolled out on the upcoming August 15th.
There are unconfirmed reports making rounds in the media that Chief Minister Naidu will reopen 100 Anna Canteens and also announce the immediate start of Free Bus Service for Women across the state – one of the 6 key promises made in the NDA manifesto in the run-up to elections.
However, as per reliable reports, only Anna Canteens will be launched on August 15th and no other scheme will take off as the government is yet to finalize the proposal to start the Free Bus Service.
The other day transport Minister Mandipalli Ram Prasad stated that the government is getting ready 1400 buses to launch the scheme. However, only 400 buses are ready as of now and the remaining will be made available in a few more weeks. He clarified that the free bus service will be implemented shortly.
As Chandrababu stressed on the dire financial situation of the state several times in the last few days, there have been inhibitions over the implementation of ‘Super Six’ schemes as promised during the elections. But, the government is keen on fulfilling all promises one by one in the coming months, said close sources to it.
