Senior Congress leader and TPCC vice president, Niranjan said that their party strongly condemns the comments and criticism of Modi, in a national channel, for providing free bus facilities to women under the Mahalakshmi scheme in Telangana state.
“Prime Minister Modi should express his apologies to Telangana women & sisters. Modi said that free bus travel for women has reduced metro rail passenger by 50 percent and that metro is facing losses. This is proof of his lack of awareness. This shows that Modi is anti-poor and only likes the rich. Free bus travel for women is not limited to metro-run Hyderabad only but it extends to the entire state. Women across the state are happy with this facility. About 28.97 lakh women are being benefited by this facility per day,” said Niranjan.
