Hyderabad: Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president KT Rama Rao (KTR) on Wednesday, February 6 accused the government of neglecting rural Telangana.
KTR advised chief minister A Revanth Reddy to focus on addressing the issues plaguing the gram panchayats across Telangana.
The Sircilla MLA highlighted unpaid bills, financial distress among former sarpanches, and village secretaries facing unwarranted trouble by using personal funds.
Pointing to the crumbling infrastructure, poor sanitation, and lack of streetlights that plague the villages, he lamented the inability to repair roads or provide fuel for the panchayat tractors. He questioned whether this was the “Indiramma’s rule” and “people’s governance” that the Congress party had promised.
