  "account": "Nandyal MP Byreddy Shabari emphasized the state government's commitment to delivering welfare schemes, such as pension payments, to every eligible individual, including the impoverished, senior citizens, widows, and those with disabilities. Addressing the NTR Bharosa pension distribution program in Bilakalaguduru village, Nandyal, Shabari noted that it required five years for the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) government, presided over by Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, to raise the pension by ₹1,000. However, Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu honored his campaign pledge by issuing the full ₹7,000 — consisting of ₹3,000 collected prior to the elections and the newly increased ₹4,000 monthly pension — to qualified beneficiaries soon after taking office. Shabari commended Naidu for doubling the pension for persons with disabilities from ₹3,000 to ₹6,000 monthly. Additionally, she mentioned that the coalition government ensures that individuals with 100% disability and those confined to bed due to illness receive ₹10,000 per month, which is promptly delivered to their residences. Shabari personally visited beneficiaries at their homes to disburse pensions and inquire about their well-being. Attendees at the event included Gadivemula Tahsildar Venkataramana, Vice-District Collector Vasudeva Gupta, and TDP leaders from the village.",
