  "summary": "The Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) announced a statewide protest in Telangana on Monday, opposing what it claims is the Congress government's alleged decision to discontinue the Kalyana Lakshmi and Shaadi Mubarak schemes. BRS Working President KT Rama Rao (KTR) urged party leaders, elected representatives, and cadres to participate in the protests, emphasizing that these schemes have provided financial support and dignity to thousands of poor families. KTR alleged that the Congress government was using the High Court verdict as a pretext to discontinue the schemes, which he said were crucial to the financial security of daughters from poor families.",
