Telangana CM KCR to meet PM Modi

Hyderabad, Aug 24: Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao will be leaving for New Delhi, accompanied by senior officers to meet PM Modi on Friday evening.

The CM will meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other Union Ministers to discuss various pending issues concerned to the State.

The Chief Minister is of the view, that, despite several appeals from the State Government the response from the central is not as expected.

The CM has decided to go to Delhi personally and stay there for couple of days and meet the Prime Minister and other Ministers to discuss the issues and get approvals. The important among all is the long pending approval of the Zonal system to be created in Telangana State.

Due to the non-clearance of zonal system by the Central government delay is taking place in the recruitment of Panchayath Secretaries and others.

CM wants that Prime Minister should take personal initiative to see that the Central Government gives clearance to zonal system immediately.

Chief Advisor to Government Rajiv Sharma has been camping in New Delhi quite for some time and monitoring the issues concerned to the State.

However, the response is not on the expected lines. Hence CM has decided to go personally to New Delhi to monitor the clearances and approvals personally.

CM has decided to discuss with the Prime Minister and other Ministers, in addition to Zonal System, other subjects like additional FRBM funds release, release of Rs. 450 Crores for the development of Backward Districts, release of Central Share of interest on the loans to be given to Women Societies and farmers, bifurcation of High Court, funds for regional Ring Road, allotment of defence lands for building secretariat.

CM is of the view that, when he meets the Prime Minister he should make a mention to him regarding the cold-hearted attitude of the Central Government on issues pertaining to the State.

CM will be appealing to the Prime Minister to take initiative to solve the issues at once in the interest of the State.

Chief Secretary S.K Joshi, Finance Secretary Ramakrishna Rao, Principal Secretary to CM Narsing Rao will accompany CM to New Delhi.
