Congress livid over TRS goondagiri
Leader of Opposition in Assembly K Jana Reddy on Thursday condemned the brutal attack on Congress workers by the goons of ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) at the public hearing on Kaleswaram project at Peddapalli.
Hyderabad: Leader of Opposition in Assembly K Jana Reddy on Thursday condemned the brutal attack on Congress workers by the goons of ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) at the public hearing on Kaleswaram project at Peddapalli.
Speaking at Assembly media point along with leader of Opposition in the Council Mohammed Ali Shabbir and MLC T Santhosh Kumar, Jana Reddy said the police personnel remained silent spectators when the hired goondas of TRS attacked Congress men right in front of the District Collector and officials of Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) of Kaleshwaram Project. Police brutality on the opposition members, who were peacefully raising people’s issues, is a dangerous trend which destroys the basic tenets of democracy, he added.
Jana Reddy said former Minister D Sridhar Babu and other Congress workers, who went there to present their views before the committee were brutally attacked.
The government should conduct the hearing in a transparent manner to benefit the affected farmers of that area, he added. He also said the government should provide medical aid to the injured workers and proper compensation to the victims as per 2013 Land Acquisition Act. The TRS government, to cover up their failure to build the projects, was projecting Congress as a hurdle to irrigation projects. But, in reality it is not true as the Congress always supported any development programmes and irrigation projects that would benefit the farmers, he said.
Mohammed Ali Shabbir said the method and process of opinion gathering was faulty and lopsided. Instead of listening to grievances of farmers and farm labour of the region, the public hearing sounded like a publicity stunt of the TRS government. The MLAs and MPs of TRS encouraged the cadre to attack the Congress workers, he alleged.
Shabbir Ali said the Congress had a long history of taking up large and medium irrigation projects and present projects were also initiated and completed 80 per cent of the works. But, the TRS government was delaying the projects in the name of redesigning and re-engineering causing inordinate delay. He also questioned the agreement that the State government signed with the neighbouring Maharashtra State.
