`HRD Ministry has written to State asking for explanation'

ADILABAD: T. Madhusudan Reddy, Adilabad MP, who recently announced his resignation over the Basar IIT issue, has claimed that setting up of the premier institute at Isnapur in Medak has been stalled for now.

He said on Tuesday that the Union Human Resource Development Ministry had responded positively to a demand for a committee of experts evaluating the advantages and disadvantages of setting up IIT at Basar.

Mr. Madhusudan Reddy told reporters at the relay hunger strike camp here that the Union Government had already sent a letter to the State Government asking why it was announced that the IIT would be set up at Isnapur and not at Basar.

"This means the Government is seized of the matter related to `wrong' location of IIT at Isnapur," he said.

Resignation

On the question of his resignation, the Telangana Rashtra Samiti MP said it was not political skulduggery. The all-party struggle committee set up for Basar IIT was authorised to forward the resignation letter to the Lok Sabha Speaker. "Six Mandal Parishad Territorial Constituency members and 13 sarpanches from TRS have also handed in their resignation letters for building up momentum. The fate of these resignations will also be decided by the committee," he disclosed.
