Congress challenges KCR, KTR to restore ITIR project

AICC national spokesperson Dr Sravan Dasoju has challenged Chief Minister KCR to come up with concrete announcements on ITIR project, job notification and regularization of contract employees and said that Congress candidates will quit from contesting in MLC elections, if those announcements are made in the form of Government Orders (GO).

While addressing the media today at Gandhi Bhavan, the senior Congress leader also demanded them to quit, if they failed to accept his challenge in this regard. He also said that the challenge is also applicable to the BJP which is supposed to have given the funds for the prestigious ITIR project. Dr Sravan suspects the integrity of BJP and TRS parties which didn’t raise even a single question in Parliament in retaining the ITIR project and demanded both the parties to pursue the matter with Union IT Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad to restore it or stage a protest dharna in front of his residence in Delhi to prove their honesty.

“I ask KCR and KTR to immediately make an announcement on implementing ITIR project with state funds irrespective of its estimated budget, Rs 13,000 crore or Rs 20,000 crore. They must issue a notification to fill up 1.93 lakh government jobs and initiate the process to regularize 1.20 lakh contract employees. All these announcements must be done officially in the form of Government Orders. If that happens, Congress candidates will immediately quit from the MLC elections,” Dr Sravan said. According to him, the BJP is also one of the culprits who fooled the Telangana society in ITIR project, Kazipet Coach Factory, AIIMS, etc.
