With just five days before the State goes to the polls, ruling Telangana Rashtra Samiti on Sunday released its manifesto promising to increase the retirement age for the Government employees by three years. If it comes into effect the Government employees in the State will retire at the age of 61 years instead of 58 years.
The manifesto was released by the Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao at a massive election rally at Secunderabad Parade Ground on Sunday evening.
TRS has also promised to introduce unemployment allowance of Rs 3,016 per month and increase all social welfare pensions to Rs 2,016 from present Rs 1,000. KCR also promised to bring down the eligibility for the old age pension from 65 to 57 years.
TRS said that while it will continue to build the double bedroom houses for the poor it will also extend financial assistance of Rs 5 to 6 lakhs to the families desiring to build their own houses.
TRS also announced that the investment support to the farmers will be increased from Rs 8,000 to 10,000 per acre for two crops. KCR also promised to continue his fight for the implementation of 12% reservations to the minorities and scheduled tribes.
