Hyderabad: With an eye on voters in the city, the Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) is likely to highlight in its election manifesto programmes that would be taken up in Hyderabad city with an outlay of Rs 55,000 crore. During the 2014 elections, the TRS had won two out of the 24 constituencies in Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation. This time the party wants to bag “as many votes as possible from the city”. Hence, there would be several promises in manifesto with focus on Hyderabad city.
According to sources, in order to build on the partial manifesto released recently, the manifesto committee has been deliberating on various schemes intended for people in the city. The major announcement would be about plans that involve spending Rs 55,000 crore, including the Strategic Road Development Plan, said a senior leader of the party. The party has already promised two lakh double-bedroom houses in GHMC, apart from making the city slum-free, said the TRS leader.
The TRS leader further said that the government would help individuals who have land and want to construct house as promised by the Chief Minister during the release of partial manifesto of the party. There would be more ‘surprises’ in the manifesto for the people of the city like the ones given during the GHMC elections, the TRS leader said. The TRS, during the GHMC elections, had waived off pending water dues of citizens.
Similarly, the government also gave relief to residents by regularising the houses below 100 yards through GO 58 and 59. The party also promised one lakh CCTVs in the city. Beautifying Musi River, laying four-lane road along the Musi River, etc may find a place in the manifesto, said the TRS leader.
When asked about the manifesto, city president Mynampally Hanumanth Rao said that Municipal Administration Minister K T Rama Rao would be able to tell about the party’s poll promises. “As far as the party’s chances, the TRS is going to win handsomely in this election. I have been attending the residential colony meetings and have attended about 200-odd meetings; the response has been tremendous from the people,” said Hanumanth Rao.
Replying to a question, Rao said that there was no feeling of outsiders among people hailing from Andhra. Some opposition leaders had brought up the ‘settlers’ issue and continued to rake it up before every election, though people are not in that mood. There are many people from Andhra in the Malkajgiri constituency and they have no such feeling, said Hanumanth Rao, who is aspiring for ticket from the Malkajgiri Assembly constituency.
