Former Minister Md Ali Shabbir alleged that Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao hardly has the time to attend official work.
Mr. Rao likes to spend his time in his farmhouse and comes out once in a while to Hyderabad. Nobody knows if he really comes to Secretariat, he alleged, adding: Senior officers wait for him with important files. But he never gives them the time.
He urged people to ask themselves if they got the promised two bed room houses, jobs and pensions, and underground drainage system as promised by Mr. Rao himself.
While farmers are dying in distress, he rests at his farmhouse, he alleged.
The youth who fought for separate Telangana are left out, the employees are ignored, and farmers are beaten up if they raise their voice, he alleged.
“The Agriculture Department is ignored and so are the universities, which have no Vice-Chancellors for over one year. Deliberately, this government is diluting institutions,” the Congress leader alleged.
The Congress leader is in-charge of Warangal East Assembly constituency campaign for the ensuing parliamentary byelection. He wanted the voters to defeat the ruling party and put a break to the arrogant and unilateral decisions of the Chief Minister.
“People of Telangana are looking up to Warangal voters. It’s Ms. Sonia Gandhi who promised and delivered Telangana. Mr. Rao was not in Parliament when the bill was moved. He said that he will merge his party with the Congress if Statehood is granted to the region, and then as usual, went back on his word. This is the time to put an end to his tricks,” Mr Ali Shabbir said.
Former Ministers Baswaraju Saraiah, Vanama Venkateswar Rao and others were present.
