Chief Minister’s decision to hand over the responsibility of handing over Indiramma houses to the displaced under the National Investment and Manufacturing Zone to Congress leader T Jagga Reddy drew flak from all sections since he holds no position in the government

Sangareddy: Chief Minister, A Revanth Reddy’s decision to hand over the responsibility of handing over Indiramma houses to the displaced under the National Investment and Manufacturing Zone (NIMZ) to Congress leader T Jagga Reddy drew flak from all sections since he holds no position in the government.

Addressing the public meeting in Zaheerabad on Friday, the Chief Minister announced that he had vested the responsibility of distributing housing scheme benefits to Jagga Reddy. The announcement left even the Congress leaders from Zaheerabad in shock. Though there was SETWIN Chairman Giridhar Reddy, Zaheerabad MP Suresh Shetkar, and other leaders, Revanth handed the responsibility to the former Sangareddy MLA.

Jagga Reddy had no association with the event, Zaheerabad Congress, in the past. Revanth Reddy had even directed Collector, Valuru Kranthi, and other officials to follow the directions of Jagga Reddy in implementing the scheme. Over 5,600 farmers of the Zaheerabad area were displaced under the NIMZ, and they had lost 12,500 acres to the project.

Meanwhile, the people of Sangareddy district were disappointed as the Chief Minister did not announce the Sangameshwara Lift Irrigation Project (SLIP) and Basaveshwara Lift Irrigation Project (BLIP). BRS Zaheerabad MLA, K Manik Rao, presented a representation to the Chief Minister requesting him to grant funds for these two projects, but he got no assurance from the Chief Minister. Revanth Reddy even failed to make any statement on the enhancement of the R&R package to be displaced under NIMZ, RRR, and other projects.
