He appreciated the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) Government to initiate such a relief fund as his own community was unable to provide him with any relief in during these challenging times.

Keerti Ramaya Madhu’s wife Yadamma said, “she received 1 lakh rupees from the relief fund which relieved her from debt, which she borrowed at a high rate of interest when her husband was hospitalized.”

“None of her relatives or the communities helped her. She was pleased by the aid of the Government, which not only promised but fulfilled it,” she added.

While thanking CM KCR, Yadamma said, “he is a godsend in our lives.”
