KCR drafting separate constitution for TS, alleges Gudur
KCR has been openly displaying resistance to implement various Central laws in Telangana State. The TRS government did not implement Land Acquisition Act, Right to Information Act, Right to Education Act, Food Security Act and even tried to come up with a State-version of many laws
Hyderabad: The Congress party strongly condemned Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao's plan to establish Telangana State Administrative Service on the lines of All India Services (AIS).
Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) treasurer Gudur Narayana Reddy in a statement on Sunday said, "K Chandrashekar Rao has been openly displaying resistance to implement various Central Laws in Telangana State.
The TRS government did not implement Land Acquisition Act, Right to Information Act, Right to Education Act, Food Security Act and even tried to come up with a State-version of many laws.
Now, the Chief Minister is planning to introduce a new Revenue Act and Municipal Act and come up with a new Urban Policy.
He apparently dislikes the Constitution of India and is moving in the direction of drafting a Constitution of Telangana. His moves are quite dangerous for the integrity and sovereignty of India. He must be stopped immediately."
Narayana Reddy said that the Chief Minister wants to establish Telangana State Administrative Service on the contention that State government would fill up all cadre posts with officers who will be equivalent to those from Group-1 and Group-1B in the present structure.
"The Constitution of India has clearly defined the distribution of legislative, administrative and executive powers between the Union government and States of India.
But, K Chandrashekar Rao has questioned Government of India's authority on multiple occasions. The proposed TSAS is an open challenge to the entire executive set up controlled by the Centre," he said.
He said that the Chief Minister created 33 districts by splitting 10 districts in such a fashion that none of the district, except Hyderabad, retained its original identity.
This was not done to improve the governance, but to contain the powers of District Collectors and entire machinery. He said so far, the Centre has approved only 17 out of 33 districts.
Therefore, there are literally two administrative maps of Telangana. While the Centre's map shows only 17 districts, State map has 33 districts. This confrontation is not good in a federal form of government, he said.
He said as per the data furnished by the State government in March 2018, the Revenue Department had 4,244 vacancies and none of them have been filled so far.
