DistrictCongress Committee (DCC) president Nuthi Satyanarayana Goud has welcomed the state government’s decision to sanction new pensions to 4.29 lakh beneficiaries across Telangana as part of the implementation of the six guarantees.

In a statement issued on Tuesday, he expressed gratitude to the Chief Minister, A Revanth Reddy, and other Cabinet ministers that included Bhatti Vikramarka Mallu, Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy, Tummala Nageswara Rao.

Criticising the previous government, Satyanarayana Goud alleged that it had turned a financially prosperous Telangana into a debt-ridden state, leaving the government struggling to pay salaries to employees on time. He claimed that the present government had streamlined the financial administration by ensuring salaries to government employees on the first of every month since January 1, 2024, outsourcing employees by the fifth, and welfare department employees by the tenth.

He further stated that the government had been clearing contractors’ bills and had paid more than Rs 2 lakh crore towards the principal and interest on loans accumulated during the previous regime over the past 34 months.
