Congress holds day-long Satyagraha to highlight neglect of Panchayat Raj institutions
The Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) chief and Parliament member N. Uttam Kumar Reddy lashed out at the TRS government, accusing it of turning the elected representatives of Panchayat Raj institutions and Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) into symbolic entities with no powers or say in the decision-making process.
Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao has completely crushed Gram Panchayats and other institutions by ending their relevance just to have his say. The State government was using Panchayat Raj institutions and urban local bodies for corruption, he said.
