VIJAYAWADA: The CPI(M) took strong exception to the in- camera meeting on city developmental issues convened by District Collector Navin Mittal. Addressing a press conference here on Thursday, CPI(M) floor leader in Vijayawada Municipal Corporation general body Ch. Babu Rao dubbed the meeting as ‘undemocratic’. Pointing out that the MLAs and the MP were ex-officio members of the Council, he said it was their responsibility to ensure that the Council’s decisions were implemented. As the Council’s decisions were not on the same lines of the Government, it opted to ignore the elected body, he alleged. Enumeration
Mr. Rao said: “The Congress Government is following the foot prints of its predecessor TDP government, and adopting the same tactics of avoiding the local bodies in the development process. It’s not a healthy trend.” Referring to housing schemes, he said that the Government was not sincere and hence took up the enumeration after three years in office. The CPI(M) welcomes the enumeration, but the ruling party should announce a date by which the government would provide housing for all the poor, he said adding that the collector or Municipal Administration Minister Koneru Ranga Rao were not ready to announce a deadline or give a blanket assurance. Mr. Rao said the Government was trying to dilly dally implementation of housing for poor with its pleas that the land was not available in the city. But, the CPI(M) was ready to show hundreds of acres of government land in the city. The Government should take necessary steps to take back the Government lands encroached by many ‘big people’, he said.
