Amaravati: Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy has said the welfare schemes have been implemented and reached the people without looking at the caste, religion, region, or party during the discussion on Motion of Thanks to the Governor's address in the legislative assembly on Wednesday.

The Chief Minister also announced in the assembly that the government will increase the pension to Rs. 3000 by January 2024 and then would contest the election.

“We have implemented the schemes, and our four-year rule went on to bring transparency in the governance. We have brought a great change in the political system and proved that the Manifesto is a holy book. We have fulfilled 98.5 percent of the promises in the manifesto,” said the Chief Minister amid the thunderous applause with thumping of desks from the members of the assembly.

Noting the volunteer system which serves at the grassroots level, the Chief Minister said that about 600 services are being provided in the village and ward secretariats and services have become more accessible with the increase of districts in the state.
