Y.S. Sharmila launches scathing attack on KCR-led government
YSR Telangana Party president Y.S. Sharmila has questioned Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao-led Telangana government about the failures to implement promises made to the people at the grass root level.
She launched a scathing attack on the government for failing to implement promises like fee reimbursement, double bedroom houses, pattas to podu land cultivators, 12 % reservation to minorities and the rampant unemployment in spite of the assurances to fill up vacancies in the government sector. Ms. Sharmila’s continued her Praja Prasthanam yatra for the eighth day on Wednesday starting from Timmapur village in Maheshwaram mandal in Chevella Lok Sabha constituency and entered into Bhongir Lok Sabha constituency.
She ridiculed the government for its failure to enhance basic amenities in the villages except for distributing low quality sarees in the name of Bathukamma sarees claiming that the Chief Minister’s family members would never wear such sarees. Women were suffering the most as they had to pay house rents in addition to bills for gas, power and other amenities.
The voter turnout in the first of the two-phase Lok Sabha polls in Karnataka on Friday, which sealed the fate of 247 candidates, stood at 69.23%, marginally higher than the 68.96% recorded in 2019. Continuing the trend of urban apathy, the three constituencies in the State capital — Bengaluru North, Bengaluru Central, and Bengaluru South — recorded a turnout of 54.42%, 52.81%, and 53.15%, respectively. Mandya recorded the highest turnout at 81.48%.
