Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) vice-president Mohammed Ali Shabbir here on Wednesday alleged that Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao has fulfilled only three promises out of 101 made before and after coming to power.
Unveiling a 10-feet “Promise Tracker” at Gandhi Bhavan here on Wednesday, Shabbir Ali said the KCR government had implemented 18 promises partially while as many as 80 other promises remained unimplemented during its nine-month regime or 276 days in power.
Mohammed Ali Shabbir said, “Since KCR was behaving like a monarch, we have designed the ‘Promise tracker’ in the style of a ‘Shahi Farman’. At least its design and looks will prompt the Chief Minister to have a look at the promises that he made with the people,” he said.
The ‘Farman-e-Shahi’ contains a list of 101 promises made by KCR to the people of Telangana. It has three adjacent columns of Implemented, Not Implemented and Partially Implemented. “While the Congress party has ticked in those columns, we are sending the sheet with blank columns to the Chief Minister so that he himself could tick against the promises and do a self-assessment of his performance,” said Shabbir Ali. Ali alleged that KCR has been taking advantage of the “weak public memory” and has been on a spree of making new promises every day without giving any importance to their implementation. He listed out some of the promises which either remained unfulfilled or were partially implemented.
Shabbir Ali said KCR promise of 12% reservation for Muslims and STs in jobs and education remained unimplemented. Instead of constituting judicial commissions as a prelude to provide reservation, the State Government only constituted Enquiry Commissions, headed by retired IAS officers, which would have no legal sanctity. The information that these commissions have been asked to collect already exists with the government as per the Intensive Household Survey held in August last year. Further, the government did not spend even 25% of the allocated amount for the welfare of SC, ST, BC and minorities communities. The much publicised 2BHK apartments for poor, three acre of land for Dalits and Tribals, one government jobs in every household and several other promises remained unimplemented, he said.
Shabbir Ali ridiculed the promise made by KCR on rooting out political corruption. He said Deputy CM Dr T Rajaiah was sacked on the charges of alleged corruption. However, the Chief Minister did not disclose the real charges and the amount involved in the alleged irregularities committed by Rajaiah, if any. KCR also remained mute to the allegations of corruptions leveled against other ministers like Energy Minister Jagadish Reddy. (NSS)
