AP High Court judge, Justice Ahsanuddin Amanullah, and executive chairman of the AP State Legal Services Authority, said the judiciary would look after welfare schemes for all eligible people. He was addressing a meeting at the Guntur Medical College Auditorium on Wednesday on the topic of 'Effective implementation of Poverty Alleviation Scheme-2015'.
He said that financial crimes are being committed against the poor in the society and the rich should stand by the poor. He said that access to welfare schemes was the right of every citizen and the society would prosper only when welfare schemes were made available to all the deserving and distributed among them equally. He said the constitution gave all powers to the common man. "Truth be told, society is calm."
He interacted with the women and made them aware of the welfare schemes. One woman said she had enrolled more than a thousand people to raise awareness on e-Srama cards and ordered authorities to hire her as a paralegal volunteer.
