Rahul Gandhi, Sharad Pawar and Uddhav Thackeray
The Indian Union is trying the winning formula of Telangana and Karnataka in Maharashtra. To attract women, the alliance promised free bus service. Women will enjoy this facility on public transport buses. The Congress party, which is part of the Indian alliance, made a similar promise in Karnataka and the public voted for it. Today, the state has his government.
Another southern state, Telangana, has made a similar promise. Under the Maha Lakshmi Yojana, the Congress government provided free bus travel facility to all women and transgender people in the state. Ahead of Telangana, the Delhi government has launched a scheme to provide free bus services to women in the state. This service continues.
Free services become expensive in Karnataka
However, providing free services to women in Karnataka has proven costly for the state road transport corporation. His burden increased. There is even talk of raising ticket prices. The fares were previously adjusted in 2019. Diesel price was Rs 60 per liter then and has now reached Rs 99. In addition to this, the price of components has also increased. Employees continue to demand wage adjustments.
The state also offers free services
Apart from the Indian Union, the NDA also provides free bus services to attract women. It has been implemented in Andhra Pradesh. The plan also includes provisions for interstate travel. Free travel is limited to Andhra Pradesh borders and passengers can travel to the state border free of charge on Express and Palle Velugu buses.
