BRS MLC Pochampally Srinivas Reddy announced a boycott of Friday’s revenue and housing review meeting, citing deliberate delays in clearing his development proposals. He alleged that ₹124.20 lakh in constituency funds remain unapproved, hampering public works and violating his rights.

Hyderabad: Bharat Rashtra Samithi MLC Pochampally Srinivas Reddy has decided to boycott the review meeting on revenue and housing departments, citing the pending proposals submitted by him in the past.

In the letter, the BRS MLC said proposals worth Rs 248.40 lakh were submitted under the Constituency Development Programme for 2023-24 remained largely pending.

While Rs.124.20 lakh was sanctioned through the Hanamkonda district Collector, the remaining 50 per cent has not received approval despite provisions under GO MS No. 3, hampering public works in his constituency, he stated.

The BRS MLC stressed that prolonged delay in approving the proposals appeared deliberate and constituted a violation of his rights as a Member of the Legislative Council.

“Under these circumstances, participating in revenue and housing review meeting at the TGSHCL office served no purpose,” Srinivas Reddy said.
