TRS going all out to win Hyderabad Mayoral election
With the notification for Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) elections likely to be issued any time, the TRS is leaving no stone unturned to ensure that it secures absolute majority. The ruling party is playing its trump card by wooing the leaders from other parties and also waiving road tax for auto-rickshaws. The two bedroom houses to the poor is another gift the government is offering to win the elections.
Hyderabad: With the notification for Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) elections likely to be issued any time, the TRS is leaving no stone unturned to ensure that it secures absolute majority. The ruling party is playing its trump card by wooing the leaders from other parties and also waiving road tax for auto-rickshaws. The two bedroom houses to the poor is another gift the government is offering to win the elections.
KTR who went on a spree of laying foundation stone for two bedroom houses two days ago said that government had waived Rs 77 crore road tax on auto-rickshaws. He said TRS was a pro- poor government and hence took such a decision. No other state was doing that. “Though it is a loss to the State exchequer, for the welfare of the people we have decided to implement the scheme. Most of the auto drivers are poor people who find it difficult to earn a decent living,” he said.
In addition, he said, the government had provided Rs 5 lakh accident insurance to them. Unemployed youth would be provided jobs in government services, he said.
