Under the YSR Vahana Mitra programme, Chief Minister YS Jaganmohan Reddy on Friday distributed Rs. 261.51 crore to 2,61,516 beneficiaries at a cost of Rs. 10,000 each. Speaking at a public event in Visakhapatnam on the occasion, he said that it was one of the election pledges that had been fulfilled within four months of taking office. "We carried out this plan even when COVID was in effect. Ours is a poor people's government. Over the last three years, we have directly credited beneficiaries' accounts with Rs. 1.65 lakh crore. There is no discrimination based on caste or party anywhere. The welfare programmes are being received by every eligible beneficiary. This is how our current administration differs from the previous one, he said. In addition, Jagan claimed that his administration borrowed less money than the one before it.
