Saying that the Congress party would fight against the State government for allegedly delaying the release of funds to gram panchayats, TPCC president A Revanth Reddy asked sarpanches to stage protests across the State.
The State Congress protested on Monday over sarpanch problems and a lack of funds for panchayats. The TPCC president was taken into custody before going to Dharna Chowk in Indira Park to participate in the protest and was taken to the Bolarum Police Station. Later that day, he was released.
Revanth Reddy told the media that the State government was usurping the power of Gram Panchayats. He claimed that funds released by the Central Government were diverted for other purposes, and he also accused the State Government of clearing bills of corporate companies but delaying funds to panchayats.
He also found fault with the police for their treatment of Congress party leaders and activists. “We will approach the High Court to seek permission for staging protests at Dharna Chowk” he added.
