Congress to move Privilege Motion against KTR
Hyderabad, Dec 11 (INN): Leader of Opposition in Telangana Legislative Council Mohammed Ali Shabbir informed that the Congress party would move a Privilege Motion against Panchayat Raj Minister K. Tarakarama Rao for violation of protocol in laying foundation stones for 2BHK houses in the city on Thursday.
Addressing a press conference at Congress Legislature Party office here on Friday, he showing the pictures of different foundation stone laying ceremonies that took place on Thursday where KTR's name superceded others. He said KTR was highlighted like a 'defacto CM'. "KTR was given preference over Union Labour Minister Bandaru Dattatraya, Deputy CM Mohammed Mahmood Ali and Home and Hyderabad District Incharge Minister Nayani Narasimha Reddy. He is neither holding Housing nor Municipal Administration and Urban Development portfolios. Then in what capacity, KTR laid the foundation stones for the 2BHK houses?" he asked.
Further, he ridiculed KTR's promise of constructing 10,000 units of 2BHK houses in city this year. "From where would the State Government get Rs. 540 crore to construct the promised houses in just four months. The 'gang of ministers' had laid the foundation stones and would delay the construction citing poll notification for GHMC. They are simply cheating the poor residents of Hyderabad. KTR should also explain how the government would mobilise over Rs. 8,500 crore to construct 1.08 lakh units of 2BHK houses which he promised to construct," he said.
Speaking on the issue, Greater Hyderabad Congress president Danam Nagender said that the laying of foundation stones for the housing projects without conducting socio-economic survey and without identifying the beneficiaries was completely illegal. He said that the Congress party would write to concerned authorities against the open cheating being done by the TRS leaders. He said that the project would remain a non-starter and the Congress party would plant saplings near all the foundation stones which were laid by KTR.
