N.V.S.S. slams KCR over appointment of advisers
Deccan ChronicleHyderabad: Telangana BJP vice president N.V.S.S. Prabhakar on Wednesday accused the Chandrashekar Rao-run state government of misusing taxes by appointing retired IAS and IPS officers as advisors, terming it “unproductive” measures. Prabhakar particularly expressed displeasure over the appointment of former chief secretary Somesh Kumar as the chief advisor to the Chief Minister, questioning the need for the same. Addressing a press conference at the state party office here on Wednesday, Prabhakar said, “It is a sheer waste of public money as BRS government is appointing as advisors retired bureaucrats who helped in corrupt practices and wrongdoings of ruling party leaders and state government.” Terming these appointments “political nominations”, Prabhakar called the BRS government’s decision an affront to bureaucrats presently rendering services in the state. He said that Chandrashekar Rao appointed 11 such bureaucrats as advisors during the past nine years and despite this decision, the state has fallen behind with no improvement in its performance.
