Every eligible family will get a ration card: Uttam Kumar

Civil Supplies Minister N. Uttam Kumar Reddy announced that every eligible family in Telangana will receive a ration card, with the state distributing rice to 3.42 crore people on a scale not seen in any other state in the country. The distribution of rice worth ₹14,800 crore is being carried out at an unprecedented rate, with the number of ration cards increasing substantially from the 89 lakh issued during the previous Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) government.

Uttam Kumar Reddy criticized BRS leaders for making false claims about the government's welfare programs, highlighting the Congress party's credit for distributing nearly 25 lakh acres of land to the poor and implementing various welfare schemes and laws at the national level.
