In Munipally mandal, the MPDO reportedly uploaded the names of certain persons bypassing the names of eligible beneficiaries. An audio of the MPDO’s phone call in this regard went viral on social media in Munipally mandal. Following these developments, former Andole MLA and BRS leader Chanti Kranthi Kiran filed a complaint with Collector Valluru Kranthi. Kiran said these three incidents stood as evidence of officials showing favouritism to people affiliated with a certain political party, and denying benefits to eligible persons. He urged the Collector to initiate action against the people who were responsible for such incidents besides ensuring the benefits reached the poor and eligible.
