No LS candidate talks of AOC road

Despite the closure of the AOC roads in the Secunderabad Cantonment area being an issue that affects almost 13 lakh residents, none of the candidates for the Malkajgiri Lok Sabha constituency, from any political party, has drafted an alternative plan nor has anyone included the issue in his/her manifesto.

“Except N. Ramachandra Rao, BJP’s MLA aspirant, none of the other candidates have even spoken about the issue. The candidates have also not spoken about the long-pending drinking water issue and the poorly maintained major roads. The second phase of MMTS from Mouli Ali to Malkajgiri is pending for years now,” stated the JAC members.
