TDP ignoring civic laws: Botcha

Ridiculing the style of functioning of Chandrababu Naidu government, YSR Congress Party has said the TDP government has no faith in the elected representatives of the civic bodies and left the municipal laws in the lurch.

Speaking to mediapersons here on Friday, YSRCP senior leader Botcha Satyanarayana said AP Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, who was boasting of improving civic amenities, in the GHMC election, has been making a mockery of the Municipal laws by not abiding to its provisions. Though Srikakulam, Vizianagaram and Machilipatnam municipalities have been upgraded into Corporations, why elections were not held there and the status of the three civic bodies has been very ambiguous,” he said. The Municipal Administration Minister and concerned officials should clarify on the issue, he demanded.

Botsa also said the State government had released Rs 2,000 crore to the company which has questionable credentials for the Polavaram project only for the sake of kickbacks, he said. (NSS)
