​Hyderabad: Ruling Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) is likely to make the party’s manifesto public on Dasara festival and immediately thereafter TRS supremo K Chandrashekar Rao will resume campaign in the districts. According to sources, the manifesto committee headed by MP K Keshava Rao is in the process of preparing the manifesto and would be handing over the draft to the Chief Minister for his approval.
Sources said that the committee has come to a conclusion on the number of new schemes to be included in the manifesto. The party’s manifesto committee has met couple of times and had decided to prepare the manifesto with 20 subjects based on the recommendations received from different strata of society.
Several associations and organisations have given representations to the manifesto committee for inclusion in the manifesto. Sources said that the party has decided to continue the loan-waiver scheme to farmers. The Congress party had promised to provide loan waiver of Rs 2 lakh and the TRS now would come up with another loan waiver.
The party may announce loan waiver but with a promise of clearing it in one go. Similarly, the party may also announce increase in the pension amount. Sources said that the pension money is likely to be increased in wake of the Congress party’s assurance hiking it Rs 2,000 per month.
“There may be a surprise this time in the form of unemployed allowance but in different name. The leaders are discussing this,” said a senior TRS leader. Apart from this the party is likely to include its flagship programmes of irrigation projects, Mission Kakatiya and others like Kalyana Lakshmi, Kanti Velugu, KCR Kits and others.
The Chief Minister has already announced that there would be changes in the double bedroom scheme. The government would provide financial assistance if any individual has vacant land to help him construct his house. The TRS leader said that the manifesto of TRS would be more attractive than the Congress party’s.
