HYDERABAD: Union ministers swiftly give appointments to state ministers who want to meet them but the ministers in the KCR cabinet, however, refuse to meet MLAs, BJP MLA NVSS Prabhakar has remarked.

“The ministers in K Chandrasekhar Rao’s cabinet are meeting Union ministers and submitting memorandums and discussing various issues with them. But, the same ministers are unwilling to meet people, especially BJP leaders, here. Moreover, police are arresting anyone wanting to meet the chief minister,” he told reporters here on Friday. The BJP leader sought to know the status of tanks in Hyderabad city.

“Though the state government is making tall claims on Mission Kakatiya, there are hundreds of tanks in Hyderabad which are neglected. Several tanks have been encroached upon. The government lacks sincerity about real development of Hyderabad. The state government conducted meeting with MLAs from Hyderabad only twice in the last four years,” he said.

Another MLA G Kishan Reddy wanted the government to act swiftly on AIIMS which was sanctioned at Bibinagar.

“The Centre gave written assurance on AIIMS. The state should respond immediately and hand over 49 acres of land which was sought by the Centre for constructing the hospital,” he said.
