Colour TVs to poor says Babu

Poor people in the State can watch the entire world in colour, if Telugu Desam comes to power.

Yes, it is true. Close on the heels of DMK in neighbouring Tamil Nadu State, Telugu Desam president N Chandrababu Naidu has promised to supply Colour TVs to all the poor people free of cost. The promise is part of Telugu Desam’s election manifesto, which was released by Naidu at a press conference on Thursday.

Naidu virtually promised heaven on the earth to the poor and middle class. He said all the poor families headed by women would get a monthly allowance of Rs 1500 and the middle class families will get Rs 1,000 each. The money would be directly deposited in the bank accounts of the heads of the family.

The TD president also announced, among others, a comprehensive health scheme for the poor and the middle class, which covers all diseases – from fever to heart diseases. What is more, all the families which would benefit from the fresh promises, would continue to get the benefits out of existing schemes in kind, such as weaker section housing, house sites and land distribution.  Now, it is for the people to decide whether Naidu’s promises are believable or unbelievable!
