Budget session: BJP to focus on public issues

March 04, 2015 12:00 am | Updated 05:47 am IST - HYDERABAD:

The Bharatiya Janata Legislature Party (BJLP) will focus its energies on raising public issues in the Budget Session of the Telangana Assembly and exert pressure on the Telangana Rashtra Samiti Government to look into people’s interests.

Briefing presspersons after a two hour-long meeting of the BJLP, the party’s floor leader K. Laxman lambasted the TRS Government for practically going back on every one of its pre-election promises - be it that of 3 acres of land to each family belonging to the weaker sections, the promise of two-bedroom-hall-kitchen, the confusion over fee reimbursement or even the KG to PG free education.

Those present at the meeting including Deputy Leader Chintala Ramachandra Reddy and MLAs G. Kishan Reddy and N.V.S.S. Prabhakar.

"People are disappointed over the TRS Government not doing anything to fulfill any of its promises," Mr. Laxman said, adding that there were several issues over which Government was stubbornly silent, recalling Deputy Chief Minister Rajaiah being sacked on corruption charges and Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao not offering any explanation whatsoever to the people.

The power situation, he said, was worse than it could ever have been in the past and while the power crisis was hitting small scale industries sector very hard, no new industry was coming into existence too.

The BJLP was also initiating discussions with people representatives of like-minded political parties before the beginning of the Budget session, Mr. Laxman added, summing up.
