YSR Congress Party leader Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has prioritized the welfare of weavers through several initiatives. Under the “Nethanna Nestham” scheme, Rs. 24,000 is credited annually to the bank accounts of every eligible weaver, providing financial stability and support. In stark contrast, Telugu Desam Party (TDP) chief N. Chandrababu Naidu, despite being in power for seven months, has failed to allocate even a single rupee for the welfare of weavers, sparking widespread discontent.
