Dattatreya wants KCR to ensure ISC is held at OU
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Bandaru Dattatreya demanded that Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao take the initiatives to ensure that the 105th Indian Science Congress (ISC) is held as per schedule in the first week of January 2018 at Osmania University
Hyderabad: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Bandaru Dattatreya demanded that Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao take the initiatives to ensure that the 105th Indian Science Congress (ISC) is held as per schedule in the first week of January 2018 at Osmania University.
Addressing media here on Saturday, the former Union Minister said the postponement of the prestigious event will amount to the inefficiency of the government when the university is celebrating its centenary year.
He said it would be unfair to throw the blame on the students for the postponement of the event and to cite law and order problems in conducting such an event of national importance. Dattatreya wondered as to why the Chief Minister, who claims to be an activist of the Telangana movement, had been shying away from going to Osmania University campus.
He reminded the role played by the university during the statehood movement and said it would be appropriate on the part of the government to talk to the students and resolve their grievances.
He said the students are worried that the government will not fill the vacancies in the government jobs even after three and half years of the formation of the new State.
While there are 700 vacant posts in Osmania University alone, nearly 2,000 posts are vacant in all the universities in the State, he said.
Referring to the incident of 25-year-old Sandhya Rani, who died after she was set ablaze by a jilted lover on Thursday, the MP said the number of incidents of violence against women in the State have been on the rise and asked the government to bring a separate law to curb such incidents.
He said the Congress will have to give lot of explanations on corruption cases after Rashtriya Janata Dal chief and former Chief Minister of Bihar Lalu Prasad Yadav was convicted in the infamous fodder scam on Saturday. He said the grand old party has become synonymous with corruption and even weakened the enforcement institutions like the Central Bureau of Investigations (CBI) during its tenure.
However, it was only after the NDA led government at the Centre headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi that steps have been taken to strengthen the CBI and Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) to weed out corruption in politics and administration, he said.
