Third phase panchayat elections key to village development

The minister further said the government supported women through interest-free loans to self-help groups. At the same time, women benefited from free travel on RTC buses. According to him, these steps strengthened livelihoods and expanded access to opportunities.

Meanwhile, Ponnam Prabhakar stressed that village-centric growth remained the government’s top priority. He said the Congress administration would soon roll out more welfare schemes. Therefore, he urged voters to keep public welfare in mind while casting their votes.

Finally, the minister appealed to people to give a strong mandate to Congress candidates in the third phase panchayat elections. He said such support would speed up development and improve delivery of government schemes at the village level.
