Congress MLAs face public wrath over delay in six guarantees

Congress MLAs faced public anger during district programmes as residents questioned delays in implementing six guarantees and protested against the proposed shifting of an area hospital. Women confronted legislators, accusing them of neglecting development and visiting only ahead of municipal elections

Warangal: A couple of Congress MLAs faced people’s wrath over delay in implementation of six guarantees when they arrived to participate in different programmes in the district here on Monday. Wardhannapet MLA KR Nagaraju had a tough time convincing the people, especially women, when he arrived to participate in interest-free loans cheque distribution event in the town.

Soon after the MLA arrived at the venue, people turned up in large numbers and questioned the rationale behind shifting the area hospital from the town to Upparpally cross. The people argued that relocation of the area hospital to Upparpally cross, which is six kms away would result in lot of inconvenience.

People said already the hospital had sufficient land and required facilities. It was upgraded from a 30-bed hospital to a 100-bed hospital and funds were also allocated to this effect in the past. However, the Congress government was now planning to shift the hospital to a new location far from the current place, according to reports.

The women especially questioned KR Nagaraju over the delay in implementation of six guarantees promised to the people during assembly elections. Similarly, Mahabubabad MLA Murali Naik too had a tough time when he visited 16th ward in the town to participate in a development programme.

In a video, which is circulating on social media, women are seen questioning the MLA over the delay in fulfilling the promises made to the people. Women charged that the MLA arrived in their area with an eye on municipal elections and had been neglecting development in their ward since last two years, reports said.
