Kakinada: On Wednesday, Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy distributed the pensions to the beneficiaries in Kakinada. He has distributed the enhanced pensions under YSR Pension Kanuka scheme.

According to the CM's schedule, the chief minister left his Tadepalli residence on Wednesday morning and reached Kakinada. He addressed a large public meeting at Rangaraya Medical College grounds where he distributed the increased pension amount to the beneficiaries. The crowd attended in large numbers showing their support to the ruling party.

The present state government spending on the enhanced pension scheme is approximately 1,968 crore per year, almost five times more than the expenditure on social benefits allocated by the previous government.

సీఎం వైయస్ జగన్ గారు మాట ఇచ్చినట్టే పెన్షన్ రూ.3వేలకు పెంచారు. ఈ ప్రభుత్వంలో మాకు అన్ని విధాలా బాగుంది. ఈసారి కూడా @ysjagan గారే సీఎం కావాలి.
