Launching a new campaign against the BRS regime over its promise of job creation, Congress Legislature Party (CLP) leader Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka has accused Chief Minister K. There will be no opencast mining in the state of Telangana.
Addressing a press conference at Ekenapalli in Peddapalli district on Monday, he alleged that the privatization drive of the present rulers was a curse on the coal mining sector, endangering the interests of the workforce of the state-owned Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL). became.
Mr Vikramarka entered Ramagundam mandal in Peddapalli district as part of his ongoing statewide padyatra after covering a distance of about 300 km in the erstwhile composite Adilabad district. He criticized the BRS system for ‘snatching’ existing jobs for ‘privatisation policies’. This government allotted open cast mines to industrialists from Andhra in the name of privatization and took help from workers from Telangana,” he alleged.
“Even after more than nine years, the Yellampally irrigation project remains incomplete. Though 1,200 acres of land was acquired for the BPL company a decade ago, the company is yet to be set up,” Mr. Vikramarka said. They demanded that the government either return the land to the farmers or allot land for a railway coach factory.
He alleged that those questioning the wrongdoings of people in the industrial hub of Ramagundam were being implicated in false cases. He criticized the government for allegedly diverting Peddapalli district mineral funds to Siddipeta, Sircilla and Gajwel constituencies at the cost of Peddapalli district’s development.
The CLP leader asked the IKP women’s groups to express their gratitude to Mr. Chandrasekhar Rao over the reported statement of Health Minister Harish Rao. “I would like to know why women’s groups should be indebted to KCR. Is it to shelve the Abhay Hastam scheme or to remove the Aam Aadmi Bhima scheme or to end the scholarship schemes for children of DWACRA women,” Mr Vikramarka asked.
“The TRS government failed to fulfill all its major promises and diverted SC and ST sub-plan funds and failed to release ₹17,700 crore allocated for Dalit Bandhu even after one year.
He alleged that the decision to redesign the Pranahita project, which submerged 3,000 acres upstream, was one of the most ‘idiosyncratic’ decisions of the BRS government.
Criticizing the “tall claims” of the ruling BRS about the Rs 1.25 lakh crore Kaleshwaram lift irrigation project, he sought to know whether the Telangana government has created at least one acre of additional water under the Medigadda, Sundila and Annaram barrages. Water is released.
