Dy CM Bhatti celebrates Deepavali with Indiramma Illu beneficiaries in Madhira
As part of the ‘Maa Indiramma Intilo Deepavali’ programme, Vikramarka visited villages in Yerrupalem, Madhira, Bonakal, Chintakani and Mudigonda mandals and joined beneficiary families in their celebrations.
The Deputy Chief Minister said this year’s Deepavali was special for him as he was celebrating the festival with poor families who had realised their dream of owning permanent houses.
Recalling his People’s March in 2023, he said he had promised that a Congress government would build houses for the poor after coming to power and establishing Indiramma Rajyam.
“Those who were earlier living in dilapidated makeshift houses now have pucca houses of their own. It gives me immense happiness to celebrate Deepavali with these families,” he said.
Describing the Indiramma Illu scheme as a flagship programme of the Congress government led by Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, Vikramarka said the true spirit of the festival lay in bringing happiness into the lives of the poor and vulnerable sections.
He said development would have meaning only when its benefits reached the poorest sections of society.
The Deputy Chief Minister celebrated the festival with the families of Nagamani in Banjara, Modugu Seetharajyam in Peddagopavaram, Muppasani Krishnaveni in Dendukuru, Yandarthi Acharao in Mallaram, Prasangi Gopi in Rayannapeta, Rella Rasi in Prodduturu, Parikapalli Ganga Bhavani in V V Kistapuram and Katari Srilatha in Mudigonda.
Vikramarka expressed the hope that every family in Telangana would have a permanent home and access to opportunities for a better future.
