Congress MP K. Chiranjeevi on Monday criticised the State government and the Municipal Corporation of Tirupati (MCT) over the handling of the relocation of the Scavenger Colony residents.
In a press release issued here, he alleged that the government was using unnecessary force in relocating the residents and remarked that they were trying to hand over the project to private parties.
“The government, instead of forcing people out, should provide appropriate alternatives and chalk out ways to convince them. A model colony should be developed with everyone's consent,” he added.
