BJP DEMANDS WHITE PAPER ON HYDERABAD

- DC CORRESPOND­ENT

BJP MLC N. Ramachande­r Rao on Wednesday demanded that the state government release a white paper on the total amount spent for developmen­t of Hyderabad city during the past four years.

Addressing a press conference, he pointed out that municipal administra­tion minister K. T. Rama Rao had recently declared that government has already spent ` 65,000 crore on developmen­t under GHMC limits, particular­ly Hyderabad city. While the claim is so, citizens of the city have been experienci­ng innumerabl­e problems, including bad roads and open nalas, which are causing great inconvenie­nce to general public.

Ramachande­r Rao said recent rains claiming two lives in just a day expose the claim of such amounts being spent on beatificat­ion works in the capital city. He accused TRS leaders of making false promises just before GHMC elections to win the confidence of gullible voters.

The BJP MLC said while the TRS government had promised two-bedroom houses to all homeless poor, it has constructe­d not more than 10,000 houses during the last four years in the city, when the fact is that lakhs of people have no houses.

Expressing confidence that BJP would win a majority of seats in GHMC during the coming elections, Ramachande­r Rao asked people to support BJP and free Hyderabad city from the clutches of TRS and MIM.
