Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee president YS Sharmila has sharply criticized the state's NDA coalition government for its alleged insensitivity in cancelling welfare pensions for differently-abled individuals. She decried the move as a lack of humanity and compassion.
In a strongly worded statement, Sharmila accused the government of attempting to rob these vulnerable citizens of their livelihood, leaving their futures uncertain. Despite being eligible, a significant number of pensioners were targeted and removed from the list in a process aimed at eliminating non-bonafide beneficiaries.
Sharmila has urged Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu to restore these essential pensions and warned against politicizing the well-being of the differently-abled. She has insisted on immediate action to rectify the issued list, ensuring justice for all eligible individuals.
