TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu has promised to conduct a caste census in the state in order to counter the YSRCP which had already announced to do so just a couple of months before the elections were declared.
The party promised Rs 3000 per month to BPL women and Rs 500 per month for mobile charging to every ration card holder.
To formulate appropriate policy measures for the socially and educationally backward sections, caste census will be undertaken, says the party manifesto.
Titled ‘Nyay Patra’, the manifesto launched by party president Kharge contains a slew of promises including the abolition of the Agnipath scheme and Rs one lakh dole to every poor woman per year.

Launching a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP government, Gandhi said that Modi had waived off the loans worth Rs 16 lakh crore of 10-15 industrialists but was not giving the rightful MSP to farmers.
"We have to fight for caste census. Until the caste census is conducted, 73 per cent of the population will have to face struggle and bear the burden of injustice," he said.
Gehlot said, "PM's caste was that of a business community, people from Jain, Maheshwari, and Agarwal communities commonly use Modi surname."
Kharge participated in the discussion on the Motion of Thanks to President Droupadi Murmu for her address to a joint sitting of Parliament on last Wednesday.
Congress MP Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is "following in the footsteps" of Rahul Gandhi.
