All the while, Independence Day celebrations allowance for the panchayats in Andhra Pradesh used to be a shockingly low 100, 250 rupees. But with Pawan Kalyan taking charge as the panchayat raj minister, things have changed drastically.
Pawan has enforced a 100X change in the allowance money given to the panchayats for Independence Day celebrations.
“After 34 years the Independence Day and Republic Day celebrations budget has been increased from Rs 100 and Rs 250 to Rs 10,000 and 25,000 respectively to minor and major panchayats. An important step to empower Panchayats in AP which had been neglected in years. First step towards fulfilment of Mahathma Gandhi ji’s Gram Swarajya after taking charge for Panchayat Raj. Our NDA Govt in AP will take all the necessary steps to empower Panchayats under the leadership of Hon.CM Chandrababu garu and Hon.PM Sri Modi ji …” Pawan tweeted on this matter.
