Funds have been diverted, claims BJP
The TRS government has been totally neglecting the ‘Smart Cities’ project and despite the Central government allotting close to ₹500 crore as its share for taking up civic infrastructure in the cities of Warangal and Karimnagar, the State had failed to allot the matching grant sending the entire scheme into limbo, charged the TS BJP on Thursday.
“The Minister for Municipal Administration and Urban Development K.T. Rama Rao should either explain where these funds got diverted or should resign for failing to ensure these two cities civic infrastructure got developed. Warangal could have been spared of flooding if the storm water drain works were completed with these funds,” claimed official spokesman A. Rakesh Reddy at a press conference.
