Hyderabad: The ruling TRS will up the ante against the Congress in the ensuing Monsoon Session of the Legislative Assembly contrary to earlier sessions where its focus was on the TD.
Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao is said to have asked ministers and party MLAs to take on the Congress in the House.
Mr Rao is angry that the Congress leaders are taking up a “malicious campaign” against the TRS on the issue of shifting of the Osmania General Hospital, irrigation projects, Indiramma houses and the municipal staff strike by taking up agitational programmes and misleading the people.
Ministers and MLAs were asked to dig the wrongdoings of the Congress governments between 2004 and 2014 on the OGH, irrigation and Indiramma houses and come well prepared to the House to expose them in front of the public.
Mr Rao held a meeting with ministers and MLAs on Saturday and discussed the strategy to be adopted in the House.
“During their 10-year rule, they did nothing to protect the OGH building. Had they released funds and taken up renovation, the need to shift it now would not have risen. If we continue the OGH in the same building in the name of heritage, it may collapse any time and cause harm to patients and staff. Then the same Opposition leaders would criticise the government for not shifting the OGH,” he said according to sources. The Monsoon Session is likely to begin in the first week of September.
