Telangana govt. depriving people of free ration: Kishan Reddy

Deccan Chronicle  

Hyderabad: BJP state president G. Kishan Reddy on Wednesday questioned why new ration cards are not being given to people. Speaking on the occasion, he said, “The state government is unable to even install new street lights. People are unable to make savings in self-help groups like DWCRA and are unable to avail new gas connections. The promised tola gold along with Kalyana Lakshmi to women and electric scooters to college-going women are yet to see the light of day.” The new government is busy making coercive collections of Rs 100 crore from realtors and there is none who cares about the problems that stalk Hyderabad.
