No Differences With CM: Jana Reddy

Panchayat Raj Minister K Jana Reddy on Thursday denied having any differences with Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy over the implementation of government projects and welfare schemes for the benefit of the poor.

Talking to media persons, Jana Reddy stated that he was forced to issue this clarification following media reports that he has differences with the CM over the generation of 15 lakh jobs in the next 3 years.

"The ministers in the cabinet have no differences with the Chief Minister over the execution of projects and schemes," he stated.

He condemned the media for misquoting his statements made during the Collectors' Conference at Jubilee hall.

Admitting that discrepancies in the schemes must be rectified through discussions, he said that he had expressed his opinion on the need for transparency in the implementation of schemes.

He also said that he raised the issue of errant power supply when the officials concerned had failed to respond properly.

Information & Public Relations Minister D K Aruna also shared similar feelings. She said that there was no need to find fault with ministers if they raise doubts over the implementation of certain schemes. (INN)
