BRS leader criticizes CM for incomplete Rythu & BC Declarations, questions Nallamala Declaration sincerity & preventive arrests of Chenchus.
HYDERABAD
Senior leader of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) and former minister T. Harish Rao has criticised Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy for announcing Nallamala Declaration stating that the implementation of Rythu Declaration and BC Declaration made before the Assembly elections is incomplete and uncertain.
Except for making such declarations with fanfare the Congress government had not made any sincere effort to implement them, Mr. Rao said in a statement on Monday after the Chief Minister’s new announcement at Macharam village in Amrabad mandal in Nagarkurnool district. He sought to know why the Chief Minister, who would often claim himself as the son of Nallamala soil, did not allow the Chenchu tribes who went there to meet him.
The arrest of Chenchus at the Chief Minister’s programme was a reflection of his dictatorial attitude and there was no meaning in making the Nallamala Declaration after making the preventive arrests of Chenchus tribe leaders. “Is it called praja palana,” the BRS leader sought to know. There was neither content nor context in the Chief Minister’s speech except for attacking the rival party.
He reminded the Chief Minister about the partial implementation of farm loan waiver, denial of investment support and the delay in procurement of paddy. The fate of ₹2,500 per month assistance to women under Mahalaxmi, enhanced Kalayana Lakshmi support with 10 gm gold in addition to ₹1 lakh financial assistance for the marriage of girls from poor families, the ₹5 lakh vidya bharosa card, two lakh jobs in the first year, denial of enhanced social security pensions and others.
Coming to employees, the BRS leader said the State government staff were awaiting payment of dearness allowance dues, pay revision commission, retirement benefits (to retired employees), the waiting of RTC staff for their absorption by the government and the fate of six guarantees.
