BRS cadres staged protests across Khammam and Kothagudem districts against an alleged attempt by the Congress government to cancel the Kalyana Lakshmi/Shaadi Mubarak scheme.
Responding to the call given by the party working president KT Rama Rao, the Khammam BRS party workers staged a protest in front of the RDO office on Monday. The party leaders Bachu Vijay Kumar, Pagadala Nagaraju, K Nagabhushanam, MA Qamar and others took part in the protest.
Speaking to the media, the leaders demanded that the Congress government take immediate measures to implement the Kalyana Lakshmi/Shaadi Mubarak scheme, following the High Court’s stay order regarding its implementation.
They said that after the formation of Telangana State, Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao, recognising the financial hardships faced by SC, ST, BC and minority families in conducting the weddings of marriage-age girls, introduced the Kalyana Lakshmi/Shaadi Mubarak scheme.
