YSRCP demands local body polls

                                                                            
The YSR Congress Party on Friday demanded elections to local bodies in the State.
Panchayat Raj
The Panchayat Raj institutions have been turned useless as the government keeps delaying the elections, YSRCP State leader Boda Janardhan told reporters.
No funds
Mr. Janardhan said there was no developmental activity in rural areas owing to stopping of funds by the Union government. He said over Rs.8,500 crore of funds have not been released as the government delayed holding elections.
The YSRCP also demanded cancellation of the development of Kawal Wildlife Sanctuary as a tiger reserve. Mr. Janardhan said the move will alienate tribal people from their environment and harm their interest.
Protest programme
He said his party will debate the issue at a meeting of its youth wing at Nirmal on April 22. The party will chalk out a protest programme too, he added.
