MUMBAI: The All India Mahila Empowerment Party (AIMEP) will take part in the upcoming Telangana Assembly Elections scheduled for November 30 and has pledged to provide electric scooters for girls over 18 years old to improve their mobility as part of the 'Save Youth Future' plan.

According to a press release, AIMEP national president and entrepreneur Nowhera Shaikh said that one member from families of those who sacrificed during the statehood movement for Telengana will receive a government job and a monthly stipend of Rs 27,000.

"The party aims to create two lakh government jobs in the first year and offer Rs 5,000 monthly to unemployed youth. AIMEP will establish a Telangana Youth Commission and provide interest-free loans up to Rs 11 lakh for better opportunities," she said.

The party held a meeting on Sunday at party office in Hyderabad where it assigned seats to candidates and discussed plans for the elections. The meeting included various party members like the State Executive Body, Central Election Committee, Central Working Committee of Telangana, district presidents, state general secretaries, and other party office bearers.

Among the poll promises include refund student fees, clear backlogs, and ensure good education. The party plans to open two new universities in Hyderabad and Warangal for children of police and RTC personnel.

"I am dedicated to aiding the underprivileged and advocating for fundamental rights, including safe drinking water, education, and healthcare for all. My commitment lies in supporting the needs of the less fortunate and striving to ensure these basic facilities for every individual," Shaikh said. "Once our party forms the government, we will provide free LPG connections to every household and ensure free electricity in each home," she said.
