Telangana Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka today attended the second anniversary meeting of Prajavani held at Jyotirao Phule Praja Bhavan as the chief guest, and said that a program like Prajavani was not being implemented anywhere else in India.
The Deputy Chief Minister explained that Prajavani was a revolutionary decision collectively taken by Chief Minister Revanth Reddy and the entire Cabinet, and reaffirmed that the government was meant solely to serve the people.
He said that receiving applications for two days every week - Tuesday and Friday - to hear and resolve public grievances, and addressing 74% of the issues, was a remarkable achievement.
Vikramarka said that merely launching Prajavani was not enough, and that achieving a 74% success rate would not have been possible without the committed efforts of officials and staff who worked sincerely to address the petitions received.
The Deputy CM assured the gathering that issues still in the pipeline would also be resolved in due course. He also said that the program would continue regularly, and called upon the people to come forward without fear to share their problems at the facility established for this purpose, and to support the efforts to resolve public issues.
Vikramarka also appreciated the initiative of setting up special software at the State and district levels, with the support of the Centre for Good Governance, to effectively resolve public grievances.
The Deputy CM strongly criticised those who ruled the State for ten years without even opening the gates of Praja Bhavan to the people, yet now spoke superficially about the Prajavani programme, and said that it was like the Devil quoting the Scriptures.
