May 14, 2016 12:00 am | Updated 05:43 am IST - KARIMNAGAR:

The Lok Satta Udyama Samstha will continue its crusade against corruption in the country, its State convenor B. Rammohan Rao has said calling upon all sections of the society to join hands with their voluntary organisation to fight the menace in all offices.

Participating as chief guest at the ‘Reconstruction Day' - the Lok Satta 20th Formation Day celebrations – here on Friday, he said that the people will not ask for free rice scheme if they were given free education and health care.

He found fault with the Government for remaining silent when the farmers were facing several hardships due to non-availability of MSP for their produce.

G.O. on MACS

District president N. Srinivas demanded that the Government abolish the GO No. 29 dated April 19, 2016 which according to him will prove detrimental for the functioning of Mutually-Aided Cooperative Societies (MACS). State advisor P. Kodanda Rama Rao said that they had ensured issuance of revenue certificates to students in the schools 15 years ago and now the Union Government had instructed all the states to implement the same.

The meeting passed a resolution urging the police department to provide justice to the whistleblowers Bhanuprakash of Ramachandrapur village and Prakash of Korapalli village on whom false cases were registered by some people when he exposed corruption through Right to Information Act.

The meeting also decided to form farmers, women and student committees in the district.
