When late Y S Rajasekhar Reddy in the Opposition, he used to attack the then Chandrababu Naidu government of favouring only “pachcha chokkalu” (yellow-shirt leaders, meaning TDP activists) who used to loot the public money like “pandi kokkulu” (bandikoots).
Now, the situation seems to have come to the same again. The present Naidu government, too, has been allocating government works only to the TDP leaders and their henchmen, ignoring the Opposition party workers.
YSR Congress on Saturday demanded the TDP Government withdraw the GOs allocating developmental works to party nominees ignoring the local MLAs.
“The State Government has issued GOs authorising the local TDP leaders, including those who lost in the previous elections, to carry out works and even releasing funds for them. This is against the rule book and we demand that the GOs are withdrawn immediately,” party MLA RK Roja told media persons here.
“This is particularly evident in the constituencies represented by YSR Congress. Ignoring the elected representatives, the State has issued GOs releasing the funds for the local TDP leaders which is against the rules. Among them there are certain leaders who are accused in the recent call money racket,” she alleged.
At Rayachoti, Bapatla, Santhanuthalapadu, Kamalapuram, Maidkuru, Araku, Allagadda and other places, the elected representatives were ignored and the local TDP leaders were authorised to take up the developmental works, which is violative of the provisions in the rule book, she said and demand that the GOs be withdrawn immediately. Failing which, she said the party will launch agitational programmes.
