HYDERABAD: On a day when chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao announced the party candidate for the Huzurabad bypoll, finance minister T Harish Rao went all out to woo the voters, particularly women, in Huzurabad constituency.
He promised that if the TRS candidate Gellu Srinivas Yadav is voted to victory, he would personally take up the responsibility of delivering the pending 4,000 2BHK units and would also extend financial assistance for construction of pucca houses to all those having land or huts. He indirectly warned them not to hold TRS responsible if the promises being made by him are not implemented. “Vote TRS candidate to victory. We are ready to take the burden and responsibility of fulfilling all the promises,” he said.
Harish blamed it on Eatala Rajender for Huzurabad people not getting 2BHK units despite being sanctioned nearly seven years ago. The finance minister also sanctioned construction of mahila bhavans in every village in Huzurabad constituency at a cost of Rs 4 crore, new roads and loan facilities to the women.
Addressing a gathering of women wherein he distributed interest free loans to women groups, followed by a public meeting at Veenavanka, he called upon the electorate to question Eatala to “announce his plans for development of Huzurabad constituency.”
“Eatala could not deliver 2BHK houses despite being a minister and Karimnagar MP Bandi Sanjay Kumar not doing anything significant for Huzurabad. BJP government at the Centre is privatising public sector undertakings resulting in job loss and increased diesel price resulting in significant increase in the input costs for farmers who operated tractors for their farm operations.
“Eatala will not be able to do anything as an opposition MLA. Don’t think about an individual but vote for the development of the constituency and the people at large,” Harish said.
