Bhatti asks TRS to name its contribution
The remarks of Congress legislature party leader, Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka, over the development of Greater Hyderabad created an uproar in the assembly on Wednesday.
While participating in a short discussion on ‘Civic works and other infrastructure facilities in GHMC, its surrounding areas and also other municipalities,’ Vikramarka alleged that the ruling TRS has made huge statements and announcements on the development of Greater Hyderabad but nothing has been done so far in its six and a half years of rule.
Enlisting the various public sector undertakings and academic institutions in Hyderabad including BHEL, DRDL, ECIL, DRDO, IIIT, IIT and NIFT, he said that all these premier institutions were established during the Congress regime.
Questioning the ruling
TRS party members to name one such institution they have set up in their rule so far, Vikramarka said that only such institutions will give scope for job and employment opportunities to aspirants and with the institutions and industries established and the ancillaries that have come up, have given ample scope and opportunity to the people to look at Hyderabad.
Claiming Congress brought that it the which had the Krishna, is
Godavari and Manjeera waters to Hyderabad city and several housing colonies including KPHB, Bagh Lingampally, Vanasthalipuram have developed under Congress rule, Vikramarka added that Congress government also provided house sites to journalists in the city.
He also accused the ruling party of insulting Dr. B. R. Ambedkar by dumping the statue of Ambedkar in a garbage van.
Several unemployed people are making a hue and cry for the notification to fill up Group 1 and Group II vacancies, said Vikramarka.
The ruling party members took strong exception to Vikramarka’s remarks and shouted at him for making false claims. Refuting his remarks, municipal and urban development minister, K.T. Rama Rao, asked that if the TRS did nothing why the people of the state and the city gave consecutive victories to them in elections.
