Hyderabad: IT minister K.T. Rama Rao on Sunday urged the citizens to give a chance to the TRS contesting the GHMC polls for the first time, so that it would be able to speed up development of the city that was “thoroughly neglected by the previous TD and Congress governments.”
Addressing campaign meetings for his party candidates in Vivekanand Nagar Colony, Moosapet and Ayyappa Society Colony, Rama Rao refuted allegations by the Congress and TD-BJP parties against vacillation by TRS government in the matter of city development in the last 19 months of its rule.
How could it be possible for a government to set right in 19 months the things that were messed up for the past six decades, he asked.
“TRS cannot be blamed for everything. If at all we have to address all issues afresh, yes, I am asking the Opposition, what have you done for the past six decades? Why have you suffocated the city by failing to implement promised projects,” Mr Rama Rao asked.
The IT minister told the people that a vote for the Opposition would be a waste since those parties would not be in a position to take up any development in the city.
Rama Rao said that under Chief Minister Chandrasekhar Rao's
initiatives, the government took up several development projects to
change the face of the historic city.
The people of the city had earlier given power to Telugu Desam, BJP and Congress, and they held the reins for several years.Now, they should give a chance to TRS to rule the city.
