Grill govt on pollution problems: PRP chief
SANGAREDDY: Praja Rajyam Party (PRP) chief Chiranjeevi called upon the people to grill the government on the issue and promised to resolve the problems caused due to pollution if his party was voted to power. He said PRP would take steps to check pollution.
He was addressing villagers of pollution-hit Pocharam in Patancheru mandal today and lent a patient ear to the people’s woes. Chiranjeevi said pollution was certainly a problem created by man. He said that it was a result of the negligence of those ruling the State.
``Had the government spent half of the amount embezzled by engineer Suryanarayana, the problems due to pollution in this village would have been resolved,’’ he remarked. The rulers are interested only in looting money but not in the people’s welfare, he lambasted. The actor-turned-politician, who was supposed to participate in Praja Ankita Sabhas at Patancheru, Sangareddy and Zaheerabad today has changed his programme in the last minute learning of the people’s problems in the pollution- hit villages. After addressing the meeting at Patancheru, he headed to Sangareddy. On the way, he made a brief stay for taking his meals on the outskirts of Rudraram.
The PRP chief who was scheduled to proceed to Sangareddy changed his programme and headed to Pocharam village.
The villagers briefed him about the contamination of ground water by the chemical factories. They told him that Nakkavagu, river Manjeera and Usike vagu were getting polluted as the factories were releasing the effluents directly without proper treatment.
Chiranjeevi visited the canals and examined the water. Jana Vignana Vedika leader Chidambaram briefed him about the various health problems people were facing due to pollution.
The Supreme Court had given directions that effluents should be let out into water bodies only partially purifying them in the treatment plants, Chidambaram told Chiranjeevi.
Chiru flays CM for giving clean chit to ministers
Objecting to the Chief Minister giving a clean chit to the ministers and MLAs alleged to be involved in the multi-crore scam by the Fisheries Department executive engineer Suryanarayana, Praja Rajyam Party (PRP) chief Chiranjeevi alleged that the Congress had no faith in the judiciary and they themselves were conducting inquiries into the various scandals and giving clean chits to the accused.
Speaking at various meetings organised as part of Praja Ankita Sabhas in Medak district today, the PRP chief alleged that corruption was rampant under the Congress regime.
Even in the DPEP scandal, they exonerated a person close to the Chief Minister and gave promotions, he alleged.
Citing the example of Lalbahadur Sastry, who had resigned owing moral responsibility for a train accident, Chiranjeevi opined that the present leaders had no moral values.
