Telangana chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao is a man given to large gestures. He has now undertaken a land allotment spree to various communities apart from the construction of the two bed room houses for the poor. This is obviously to win their support and get the blessings of all the communities.
KCR has allotted land to Banjaras for the construction of a Banjara Bhavan in Banjara Hills. He wiped out all the old dues of Housing schemes which were due from the Congress regime. This was a great gesture.
The CM has given away 6.1 acres of land at Gopanpally in Hyderabad’s suburbs to the Brahmin community for construction of a resource centre and a hostel facility for Brahmin students pursuing higher education.
KCR also has given 10 acres of land at Budwel near Rajendranagar to the Raja Bahadur Venkatrama Reddy Educational Society for setting up a hostel for Reddy students, an old age home and a residential school.
The government had said it would distribute three acres of land to every eligible Dalit. The plan to construct two lakh homes to combat the housing shortage for the weaker sections has attracted people from all walks of life and 600 houses at Erravalli completed by the Government has earned the praises of oppostion in the Assembly.
The free education programme which the KCR government had mooted and is being implemented for the Minority and other backward communities is also making people think. The free education from KG to PG is being worked out by the Government.
This latest move opens the gates of aspirations for other castes and communities to demand similar sops. The TRS party has been in power for more than two years and while the leadership has excelled in its political strategies, it has left a lot to be desired on delivering on development issues.
A good beginning has been made in the IT sector and job creation under the dynamic leadership of Minister K Taraka Rama Rao. Further implementation of the welfare schemes should pave way for Bangaru Telangana.
