HYDERABAD: Telugu Desam on Sunday released a `charge-sheet' against the Congress Government on the eve of its completing three years in office, accusing it of corruption, failure to implement election promises and utterly neglecting the core sectors. Releasing the 48-page chargesheet on eve of the Congress party's Re-dedication Day, TDP president N. Chandrababu Naidu alleged that such an `oppressive and anti-people Government' was not seen earlier. He said his party would take the issue to the people. Charging the party with violating its election promises, Mr. Naidu said a "personal agenda was being implemented and corruption and land-grabbing was taking place in the guise of development". Alleging large-scale irregularities in the irrigation sector, he said not one project envisaged to be completed in two years was ready. Mr. Naidu claimed that farmers had suffered a loss of Rs. 15,000 crore due to lack of remunerative prices. He hit out at the Government for failing to protect the State's interests in Babli and other projects being built in Maharashtra. On the law and order front, Hyderabad, which was a "happening city" during the TDP regime, had now become a crime den. Not a single power generation unit was added and people were being deceived over the issue of scrapping the health warning on beedi packets. Over 4,100 farmers had committed suicide so far, prices of commodities skyrocketed, allocations to the welfare sector were cut and local bodies were weakened during the last three years. While Rs. 20,000 crore was spent on `Jalayagnam', the benefits reaped by the farmers were next to nil, the TDP claimed.
