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.
