KTR asks Modi if he will cancel welfare schemes

Deccan Chronicle  

HYDERABAD: TRS working president and minister K.T. Rama Rao, in a statement, questioned Modi on what a freebie is according to his definition, and if he considered welfare schemes aimed to uplift the poor, downtrodden, and the disadvantaged, as freebies. Telangana, he said, was implementing several welfare schemes including Rythu Bandhu and Rythu Bima, and wondered if Modi considered these freebies. Among the questions he posed to Modi was the policy on public welfare, the quantum of loans waived or written off for “you crony capitalist friends,” loans waived for farmers, and whether he will cancel welfare schemes being implemented in the states where BJP is in power. Rama Rao also asked if Modi will face the next polls with an announcement that all free welfare schemes will be cancelled, and if his government would enact a law, or amend the Constitution to cancel all the welfare schemes in the country.
