Guntur (AP): Chief Minister K Rosaiah has
reiterated his government`s commitment to continue the social
welfare and development schemes initiated by late Y S Raja
Sekhara Reddy.
Speaking at several engagements at coastal town of
Baptla, 50 km from here, today he said there is no proposal to
launch new schemes. "We want to streamline the existing
schemes to ensure that the benefits of them reach the targeted
people," he added.
The existing schemes cover all sections of people and
take care of their welfare and development, the Minister said.
Speaking at a meeting of farmers, Rosaiah promised to
ensure that the Food Corporation of India (FCI) purchase large
quantity of paddy accumulated with farmers and inputs like
seeds and fertilisers are sold to the farmers at subsidised
prices.
Rosaiah laid foundation stone for Rs 500 crore scheme
to modernise Krishna Western Delta System which is crying for
attention.
The Delta System canals are silted, their banks are
weak and seepage is alarming, reducing their carrying capacity
of water.
