‘YSR has lost grip over administration’

Special Correspondent

HYDERABAD: Telugu Desam on Thursday said that the withdrawal of Government Orders 399 and 415 as hastily as they were issued showed once again that Chief Minister Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy had lost grip over the administration.

Telugu Desam Parliamentary Party leader K. Yerran Naidu told press persons that the issue and withdrawal of GOs has exposed the incapacity of the Congress to govern. Government Order No. 5 issued at the behest of World Bank for retrenchment of workers in public sector units and the GO 938 intended to apply curbs on media were withdrawn in similar circumstances after a furore.

Land grabbing

“The only thing the Government is doing perfectly is enabling its supporters to make money in the execution of irrigation projects,” he alleged. Its functioning was reflected in the way it preferred to book land-grabbing cases against Left party leaders who were leading land struggle while remaining silent on some of the top Congress leaders who have been sitting over assignment lands meant for the poor Scheduled Castes for over three decades.

To a question, Mr. Naidu said the TDP favoured implementation of GO 610 and recalled that it was issued during the TDP rule.
