The TDP government had made tall promises related to the welfare of the Kapu community, but failed miserably in implementing them, Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy said on Wednesday. In stark contrast, the YSRCP government spent ₹4,770 crore in just one year in tune with the assurances made during the ‘Paja Sankalpa Padayatra’ to improve the living standards of the Kapus, Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy asserted. Under Amma Vodi, Vasati Deevena, Vidya Deevena, Vahana Mitra, Chedodu, Videshi Vidya Deevena, Kapu Nestham and other schemes, more than 23 lakh people of the Kapu community were given ₹4,470 crore, the Chief Minister added. Later, Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy interacted with the beneficiaries through video-conference.
