Hyderabad: If voted to power, Congress party wants to make it a mandatory that chief minister should function from Secretariat and maintain attendance for a certain number of days in a month to meet public. Congress party has demanded that Telangana chief minister K Chandrashekhar Rao should start functioning from Secretariat.

“We’re proposing amendments to relevant laws to make it mandatory for chief minister to function from Secretariat and should attend the CMO for a certain number of days in a month. If Congress returns to the power at the Centre, then it’ll make a law for all the chief ministers in the country to compulsory function from Secretariat only. Telangana CM is acting more like a TRS chief and politician rather than chief minister. KCR never bothered to be a representative of four crore Telanganites. Ever since Telangana became a reality in June 2014, KCR has been busy with election strategies, Operation Akarsh and weakening the opposition. For this, KCR has violated all the laws and neglected welfare of the people and economy development,” said Gudur Narayanaa Reddy, TPCC Treasurer.

Accroding to the new Panchayatiraj Act, which has been modified by the TRS government, any ZP chairman, MPP president and vice-president can be disqualified if they don’t attend the office continuously for 15 days. Our chief minister KCR violated this law by over 50 times and he’s now qualified for disqualification. KCR is operating from Pragati Bhavan and spends his rest of the time at his farm house. Common public don’t have access to the chief minister,” he said.
