No activity in Himanshu Motors: TRS

Blame Cong. for filing false cases

August 04, 2017 12:15 am | Updated 12:18 am IST - HYDERABAD

The TRS has said Himanshu Motors, on whose board Industries Minister K.T. Rama Rao was a director, did not carryout any activity since 2009.

Beyond filing the statutory income and expenditure accounts, the company did not do any business, much less with the Government.

The State Government purchased Toyota vehicles for police directly from that company, Finance Minister Eatala Rajender and MLCs Palla Rajeswara Reddy, T. Bhanuprasad Rao and P. Sudhakar Reddy said at a press conference here on Thursday.

They reacted to the representation of Left parties to the Election Commission seeking the disqualification of Mr. Rama Rao as he violated provisions of Representation of People’s Act.

They denied the claims of the Congress that any of its leaders or workers were involved in filing of cases against the Government as alleged by Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao on Wednesday.

‘All Congressmen’

The petitioners and advocates and some public representatives who filed the cases were all Congressmen, they said.

Mr. Rajender said that power hungry Congress leaders motivated their supporters to file the cases with a view to scuttle development in the State.

But, the commitment of the Government could not be shaken. The biggest victory of the TRS Government in the last three years was that it showed how common public were central to administration.
