TDP demands revocation of tahsildar suspension

Mangalagiri: In a letter to Chief Secretary KS Jawahar Reddy, TDP State president and MLA Kinjarapu Atchennaidu appealed to him on Monday to revoke the suspension of the tahsildar of Madakasira mandal in Sathya Sai district.

The senior TDP leader said that it is indeed sad to note the state of affairs in the present government “justifying” corruption by Murshavali, tahasildar of Madakasira mandal. While nobody justifies taking bribes for whatever reason, as stated by Murshavali in the video clip, corruption under the present government has become deeply ingrained into the system. The manner in which Murshavali justified corruption only points out to the symptom that the entire government system is in deep malaise. It is appalling to note that the government has responded to the said video clip by suspending Murshavali, instead of initiating corrective measures. To draw a metaphor regarding the government’s action, it is like treating the symptoms and not the disease, he said.

In this backdrop, it is important to withdraw the suspension order of Murshavali and ensure that the disease is treated. Therefore, it is crucial to learn from Murshavali’s statement and initiate correct measures into the governance so as to ensure that such acts are not repeated.
