As the elections are coming closer, the Andhra Pradesh government is showering gifts not a select few. The government is distributing smartphones and Swift Dzire cars to unemployed Brahmin youth.

Andhra Pradesh’s Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu earlier said that the state is required to distribute 14 million smartphones for the ease of living. The Chief Minister also distributed 30 Swift Dzire cars among the unemployed youth today in Amravati, as reported by India Today.

The distribution is taking place under the self-employment programme. The Brahmin Welfare Corporation will provide a maximum of Rs 2 lakh as subsidy and the beneficiary has to bear 10 per cent of the cost of the vehicle and the remaining amount will be provided by the Andhra Pradesh Brahmin Cooperative Credit Society as a repayable loan in monthly instalments. The corporation sanctioned 50 cars in the first phase.
