Nalgonda MP, N. Uttam Kumar Reddy demanded that Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao clear all the pending bills before launching the 5th phase of Palle Pragathi programme.
In a letter to Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao, he alleged that bills worth several hundred crores pertaining to various works executed during the first four phases of Palle Pragathi were still pending. Non-clearance of pending bills has pushed hundreds of gram panchayats across Telangana into a huge financial crisis.
“While the development in those gram panchayats has come to a halt, the sarpanches, who got different works executed are facing a severe financial crisis and a few of them even committed suicide”, he alleged.
