Unemployment allowance in focus as BRS eyes youth
Deccan ChronicleHYDERABAD: After resolving several long-standing demands over the past few months, Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao is reportedly working on fulfilling the pending unemployment allowance, which was a major BRS poll plank of 2018, according to party sources. The BRS is hopeful of garnering the support of youth and the unemployed for the upcoming Assembly elections if the unemployment allowance of Rs 3,016 per month is extended now. BRS sources said that while Opposition parties were targeting the Chief Minister for failing to keep the promises made during the 2018 Assembly elections, the Congress and BJP have been left clueless, given that the state government ramped up implementation of the promises over the past few months. If the unemployment allowance promise is fulfilled, Opposition parties will be left with no major issue to attack the BRS government,” a BRS source said.
