If State can spend crores of rupees on religious festivities, unreasonable to halt social security pensions: Andhra Pradesh HC
"Did anyone ask the State to spend crores for “GODAVARI & KRISHNA PUSHKARALU?” Did any Christian ask for “CHRISTMAS KANUKALU?” Did any Muslim ask for “RAMJAN THOFA?” But thousands of crores were spent", the Court noted.
The Andhra Pradesh High Court on Monday made stern observations regarding Government spending while disposing of two pleas challenging the Andhra Pradesh Government’s halt of pension payments to single women, the widowed, and the elderly.
