Not Sankranti or Elections, Why Huge Rush To AP?

The last time the buses and trains heading for Andhra Pradesh were filled up was in the first week of June due to the polling which was held on May 13th. Again, after around a month, a similar scene is being observed at train stations and bus stands.

This time, there’s a huge influx in Andhra Pradesh due to the pensions program, where Chandrababu’s government is providing substantial amount of money to beneficiaries.

As Naidu promised in the election, a sizeable Rs 7000 pension money is being distributed this month.

Notably, several settlers and natives who are working in other states are lured by the sizeable pension money that is being given and they’re turning up in big numbers through buses and trains.

As a result, there’s again a frenzy situation that is being observed in AP. The effect of the new government greatly bumping up the pension amount promise is clearly being seen. Meanwhile, the pension program has commenced already.
