Congress condemns KTR's reaction on campaign
Hyderabad, April 5 (INN): The Congress party has strongly condemned Panchayat Raj Minister K. Tarakarama Rao for his criticism on campaign seeking 12% Muslim quota in the State.
Addressing a press conference at Gandhi Bhavan on Tuesday, AICC spokesperson Madhu Yashki Goud and TPCC Chief Spokesperson Dr. Dasoju Sravan advised KTR to cross check facts before reacting on Muslim issues. They said that the Congress party did not make a new demand. It just wanted the TRS Government to fulfill its election promise wherein Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao himself had assured to give 12% Muslim quota in just four months of power.
The Congress leaders said instead of being apologetic for not fulfilling the promise even after 22 months, KTR is exhibiting arrogance by criticising Congress party. They said that the TRS Government was not sincere towards welfare of minorities. It did not spent even 50% of allocated budget in 2014-15 and 2015-16. While Shaadi Mubarak scheme was hit with different scams, several departments are unable to function properly due to want to staff. They said the existing staff in organisations like Urdu Academy did not get their salaries on time. Thousands of students belonging to minority communities have been denied Fee Reimbursement.
They challenged KTR for an open debate on the issue of minorities' welfare. They also challenged if TRS leaders would not seek vote in case they fail to implement 12% reservations.
They also questioned KTR over delay in granting judicial powers to Wakf Board. They said not a single inch of encroached Wakf land has been restored by the TRS Government. They also questioned as to why the top Wakf Board officials, who attempted to files cases against encroachers, were removed by the State Government. They said that the government also failed to resolve the case of Lanco Hills.
