The Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) has urged the Governor, E.S.L. Narasimhan, to prosecute TPCC president Ponnala Lakshmaiah, alleging that the latter had illegally occupied 14 acres of land assigned to Scheduled Castes in Rampur village of Dharmasagar mandal in Warangal district.
In an election meeting at Jukkal mandal headquarters here on Thursday, TRS president K. Chandrashekhar Rao alleged that Mr. Lakshmaiah and his son had grabbed the land in survey nos: 337 to 339/6 allotted to Scheduled Caste persons Konga Ilaiah, Konga Chilukaiah, Munagala Lakshmaiah and others in 1971 for their Tirumala Hatcheries in 1991. Mr Rao maintained that he had sufficient proof to establish the illegal occupation.
Targets TPCC chiefLaunching a broadside against Mr. Lakshmaiah, the TRS president said that the former, while forgetting his misdeeds, was targeting him. “He (Lakshmaiah) calls me dora (feudal lord), while he himself is a donga (thief),” he said, questioning him why he could not complete the Lendi inter-State project in the backward Jukkal constituency in his tenure as Irrigation Minister.
Vows to take back NSFCalling upon people not to get confused and give two votes to TRS candidates for MP and MLA, he said if other parties were voted their votes would go waste. Reading out important promises enshrined in the TRS manifesto, he said if all of them are to be honoured his party should be given a clear mandate.
Speaking at Bodhan, he alleged that Chandrababu Naidu had sold the Nizam Sugar Factory at a throwaway price and indulged in irregularities. The factory would be taken back immediately after his party formed the government and an enquiry ordered into the irregularities. Mr. Naidu would be put behind bars if his complicity was proved.
Promising revival of the sugar factory and bringing back its glory, the TRS chief said that a sugar research station would be set up at Bodhan to increase per hectare cane yield.
