Telangana BJP Accuses Telangana Congress Government of Failing to Ensure Women’s Safety
Addressing the BJP Mahila Morcha state executive meeting in Hyderabad, Rao said the Narendra Modi-led NDA government had introduced several schemes aimed at women’s empowerment, benefiting crores of women across the country.
He cited initiatives such as Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana, Jan Dhan Yojana, Mudra Yojana and Lakhpati Didi, besides programmes for housing, maternity assistance and women’s entrepreneurship.
