Congress Slams Continued Halt Of Property Registration

Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) Treasurer Gudur Narayana Reddy strongly condemned the delay in the restoration of the registration of properties in the state, and alleged that there was no functional administration in Telangana State.

Reddy said that Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao was emulating Prime Minister Narendra Modi in introducing new laws without any planning and preparation.

"Although it is debatable whether or not Telangana needs a new revenue law at this juncture, the KCR government should have planned its implementation in a proper manner. All registrations have been halted for the last one month, and the situation will remain unchanged until Dassara next month. KCR is apparently not conscious of the impact of his wrong and ill-planned decisions on the common man. Both PM Modi and CM KCR have a long history of implementing decisions without giving any thought on their implications," he said.

The Congress leader also alleged that there was no visible administration in Telangana. He said that there was no working Secretariat, and that the ministers and senior officials were all functioning from symbolic make-shift offices. And with the Chief Minister now shutting down all revenue offices until further orders, it appeared like except for police stations, no government office was functioning in a full-fledged manner in the state.

"Right from demonetisation to GST, lockdown and now new agriculture laws, PM Modi implemented his decisions in an unplanned manner. CM KCR followed in his footsteps and imposed decisions in an unplanned manner. Both are good at creating great hype around their decisions. But they are highly poor at implementation and performance," he claimed.

Reddy said that no senior officials including district Collectors, and for that matter even very few TRS leaders, had any clarity over the new revenue law, and neither did the people. He challenged the TRS ministers to make any group of farmers explain the benefit of the new revenue laws.
