KTR Urges People To Support TRS

TRS working president and Minister KT Rama Rao urged people to support TRS during municipal elections for further development of the State. "Political parties seeking votes in the name of caste and religion must be rejected in municipal polls," he said.

Addressing a massive gathering during his roadshow in Vemulawada and Sircilla towns on Saturday, Rama Rao said, " The BJP government did not honor the recommendations of NITI Aayog to sanction Rs 19,000 crores to Telangana State towards the State government’s initiatives such as Mission Bhagiratha and Mission Kakatiya. Prime Minister Narendra Modi did not respond to our repeated pleas for sanction of national project status to Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Scheme. But the BJP leaders are now making tall promises. People must decide whom will they support."

The Minister pointed out that Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao had not only brought Godavari waters to Sircilla and Vemulawada through Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Scheme but also sanctioned Rs 218 crore for development of Vemulawada temple town. "With Yadadri temple nearing completion in a couple of months, the Chief Minister will focus on the development of Vemulawada and Bhadrachalam," he added.

The TRS working president listed out the various welfare and developmental programs by the State government over the last six years and promised that no eligible person will be denied his rightful share in welfare programs. He predicted that the Vemulawada and neighboring towns of Sircilla will soon become twin towns due to rapid development in the district. He took it upon himself to develop both the towns into model municipalities, setting an example for the entire country.

"We will ensure effective implementation of the new Municipal Act. About a 10 percent budget will be mandatorily allocated for the development of greenery. To curb corruption, stringent action will be initiated against the elected representatives and also officials in case they fail to implement the Act in toto," he assured. He promised to release Rs 216 crores to urban local bodies every month for taking up various programs.

Speaking on the rebel candidates, Rama Rao cautioned, "If someone is contesting against a TRS candidate chosen by me, they are definitely not on my side. People should only vote for Car symbol of TRS candidates, not those who are contesting against the party,” He advised rebel candidates to give up the fight and campaign in favor of TRS’ official candidates, promising them all justice.
