Disappointing 100 days rule: T-Cong - TeluguPeople.com News

Hyderabad, Sept 9 (INN): The Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee on Tuesday alleged that the 100 days of TRS rule in Telangana were full of disappointments.

Speaking after releasing a brochure '100 Days of TRS Misrule' at Gandhi Bhavan here, TPCC President Ponnala Lakshmaiah and Vice-President Mohammed Ali Shabbir said that the TRS Government has failed to fulfill any of its promises made during elections.

'The people of Telangana have completed 100 days of living under an arrogant, insensitive and anti-welfare TRS Government. The last 100 days were full of disappointment, cheating and deceit,' they said.

Ponnala said that the TRS Government simple ignored the implementation of promises that it made with the people. He said that the government was even unable to decide the priorities. 'It had spent crores of rupees to purchase new vehicles for the city police, but failed to pay promised sops to the families of Telangana martyrs,' he said.

Shabbir Ali alleged that Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao gave no importance to anyone except for his family members. 'While he accommodated his son and son-in-law in his cabinet, he could not find a suitable woman and a Tribal leader to be inducted into the cabinet,' he said.

'The Chief Minister gave different twists to the promises that he made with the people. The promise of waiver of farm loan is proving to be biggest lie in the history of Indian politics.

The TRS Government gave different twists and turns to the original promise since it came to power. It also held a customary meeting with the State Level Bankers Committee and assured to take action after the SLBC furnished the data in 15 days.

Following pressure from the Congress party, the State Cabinet also gave its nod to waive off the farm loans. But still, the promise remains unimplemented. The inordinate delay has left the farmers' community disheartened and more than 200 farmers have committed suicide since TRS took over the regime,' he said.

The Congress leader also condemned the TRS Government for its failure to prevent the merger of seven mandals of Khammam district with Andhra Pradesh.

'The ruling party also gave a bandh call twice only to cover up its failure. Further, by excluding the seven mandals from the Intensive Household Survey (IHS), it permanently surrendered Telangana's right over those mandals,' he said.

'The Intensive Household Survey was another gimmick played by the TRS Government to delay the implementation of welfare schemes. An unscientific and unclear approach was adopted to conduct the survey, which remained incomplete as thousands of households were left out by the untrained enumerators. Now, the government intends to deprive the deserving beneficiaries of their rights citing lack of data,' Shabbir Ali said.

The Telangana Congress leaders also enclosed the list of some of the promises made by the government and their status. They alleged that the TRS Government has completely failed to honour its commitments towards the people of Telangana.

They also accused it of unleashing an era of suppression of right to protest. 'Farmers were brutally lathicharged when they held protest against the erratic power supply. It was done in the home district of the Chief Minister himself and was aimed at conveying a message that the government would not tolerate any criticism or opposition.

Similarly, the students of Osmania University, who played a major role in achieving statehood for the region, were brutally beaten up when they opposed regularisation of contract employees. The Chief Minister often humiliated the farmers and students with his sarcastic comments,' they alleged.

Ponnala and Shabbir Ali also accused the government of failure to handle the energy crisis, lack of clarity on fee reimbursement or FAST scheme, non-implementation of 12% reservation each for Tribals and Muslims, deteriorating law and order and rise in incidents of violence against women and other issues.

'The TRS Government is proving to be "Tears Government" for the farmers, students, employees and other common people,' they alleged. 'Instead of listening to the woes of common people, the Chief Minister looks more interested in make them listen his "Raaga Singapori",' they said.

The Telangana Congress leaders also criticized KCR for encouraging defections in other parties. 'So far, he made five MLAs and 14 MLCs defect to the TRS from different opposition parties. By doing so, he has set an unhealthy trend of horse-trading,' they alleged.

They said that the Congress Party would expose the failures of TRS Government and would adopt the mode of agitation to ensure that the farmers, students, employees and other sections of the society get justice.
