IAS officers are acting like KCR's slaves: Uttam
Hyderabad, Jan 5 (INN): Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee president N. Uttam Kumar Reddy on Tuesday accused the IAS officers of acting like the slaves of Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao.
Addressing a press conference at Gandhi Bhavan here, Uttam Kumar Reddy said that the IAS officers, including Chief Secretary Dr. Rajiv Sharma, were following orders of KCR without even considering their implications. He said several wrong decisions taken by KCR were blindly implemented by the bureaucrats. He said that the officials would be in a soup if KCR's actions are challenged in a court of law. He said that the IAS officials should remain neutral without showing any inclination towards any party in power.
Condemning the State Government for reducing the time period to conduct GHMC elections, the Congress chief said that the amendment in GHMC Act was a proof that KCR was afraid of losing civic polls and therefore, he wants to deny opposition parties the opportunity to approach the voters. He also alleged that the GHMC Commissioner has already provided the list of reserved wards to TRS and MIM which prompted them to take up massive hoarding campaigns. He said TRS-MIM combine would not have launched the publicity campaign without having the exact details of election schedule. He also accused the TRS Government of taking credit for the schemes initiated by the previous Conress regime.
Uttam Kumar Reddy said that the Congress party would lay 100-feet roads parallel to Musi River. He said that the sops announced by KCR for Hyderabad residents were aimed at luring voters during GHMC polls.
