The Telugu Desam Party has demanded the Government of taking steps for regularisation of the houses and house site pattas to the residents of Parvatapur, who are on an agitational path for the last fortnight.
Party working president A. Revanth Reddy on Sunday visited Parvatapur, Chowdaryguda and Pratap Singaram of Ghatkesar mandal where women were agitating in support of their demand for grant of house site pattas. Interacting with the residents, he charged the Government with setting aside the interests of the poor who were hopeful of resolution of their problems after the formation of separate State.
‘Ignoring poor’
He said that Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao, who had assured people of no agitations or dharnas once the separate State was formed, however, ignored the problems of the poor after coming to power. The Chief Minister was spending most of the time in his farm house setting aside issues of public importance and the elected representatives were behaving rudely with the people who approached them to represent their problems.
‘People vexed’
Vexed with the Government’s negligence, people, women in particular, were taking to agitational path seeking solution to the problems they were facing.
Though the residents of Parvatapur and other villages had been agitating for securing their rights and self-respect, the Government remained indifferent to the pleas, he observed.
The seriousness of the issue could be seen from the fact that the BJP, Left and the political joint action committee, not just the TDP, were supporting the cause of the poor women in Parvatapur, he said.
