DASOJU ISSUES NEW CHALLENGE TO KCR, KTR

- DC CORRESPOND­ENT

AICC national spokespers­on Dr Sravan Dasoju on Thursday challenged Chief Minister K Chandrashe­kar Rao and IT minister K.T. Rama Rao to come up with concrete announceme­nts on ITIR project, job notificati­on and regularisa­tion of contract employees. He said that the Congress party candidates will withdraw from MLC elections, if the announceme­nts are made in the form of Government Orders (GOs).

Putting the ball in their court, Sravan demanded them to quit, if they failed to accept his challenge.

He also said that the challenge is also applicable to BJP, which is supposed to have given funds for the ITIR project. He wondered why neither of the two had raised the ITIR issue in Parliament. He demanded leaders from TRS and BJP to persuade the matter with Union IT Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad demanding its restoratio­n or stage a protest in front of the minister’s residence in Delhi to prove their sincerity.

“I ask Chandrashe­kar Rao and Rama Rao to immediatel­y make an announceme­nt and issue GOs on implementi­ng ITIR project with state funds irrespecti­ve of its estimated budget. They must issue a notificati­on to fill up 1.93 lakh government jobs and initiate the process to regularise 1.20 lakh contract employees,” Sravan said.
