HYDERABAD
Former Minister and Suryapet MLA from Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) G. Jagadish Reddy has stated that people from different walks of life have been knocking their (BRS legislators) doors for raising issues.
Speaking in Nalgonda on Friday, he said that employees were asking for Dearness Allowance instalment dues, unemployed youth were awaiting the job calendar, girl students of colleges were awaiting free scooters promised by the Congress government and farmers were concerned about urea shortage, and Rythu Bharosa dues, among others.
When huge quantities of Krishna and Godavari water were flowing waste into the sea, the Udayasamudram project in Nalgonda was empty. He stated that they were not worried about the government plan to table and discuss the Ghose Commission report on Kaleshwaram since it was they (BRS) who had been demanding the government to make the report public.
The betrayal of the Congress party had come out in the open one more time, this time in the name of local bodies’ elections, as the ruling party was showing urgency now after sleeping over for two months following three months time given by the High Court.
Meanwhile, another party leader S. Subhas Reddy, speaking separately here, criticised the government for not immediately “pressing into service” a chopper to save a person in Doodhsingh thanda, where a person held onto an electrical pole for seven hours before getting washed away in the flood. Instead of making an aerial survey, the government should have used the helicopter for saving the stranded person.
