Congress senior leader and former chief whip Gandra Venkataramana Reddy has threatened to launch an agitation if Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao goes ahead with his plans to shift the proposed 800 MW power units from Bhupalpalli in district.
The Congress while in ruling has constructed two units 500 MW and 600 MW and planned for another 800 MW power unit at Bhupalpalli. However, the Chief Minister was trying to shift the third unit to another district which is against the interests of people here.
Mr. Ramana Reddy said the TRS leader and Chief Minister was discriminating the Warangal district by neglecting it deliberately. The present government did not sanction a single rupee for ongoing Devadula project and was trying to shelve the proposed Kanthanapalli project.
“People of Warangal gave nine MLAs and two MPs to TRS party in last elections. But, the party is indifferent to development of this district,” he said.
The Congress leader pointed out that though Chandrasekhar Rao promised to make Bhupalpalli into a separate district, no action was taken so far.
Former MP Sircilla Rajaiah said the Chief Minister declared that there would be no protesting tent at Indira Park under the TRS ruling. But, employees of government are at unrest.
“The MNREGS volunteers, IKP staff, electricity staff and now municipal employees are forced to come onto streets. What happened to the promise of regularisation of services of contract and outsourcing employees?” he sought to know.
The Chief Minister camped in Warangal and promised to ensure underground drainage, textile park and housing to the poor.
