MAHABUBNAGAR: Chief Minister K. Rosaiah appealed to the opposition parties to play a constructive role and asked them to give suggestions to government if they found any lapses in implementation of various developmental and welfare schemes.
The Chief Minister was addressing a public meeting at Shadnagar town in the district on Wednesday after launching the fifth phase of land distribution to landless poor. The district administration has made arrangements to distribute over 1408 acres of land to 981 landless poor in 20 mandals in the district.
The Chief Minister said that some political parties were criticising the policies of their government for mere criticism sake. “If there are any lapses in the welfare schemes, kindly give suggestions to rectify. But do not criticise” he said.
