Shankar Rao's yet another self-goal

Minister Shankar Rao is at it again!

The Handlooms and Textiles Minister continued to embarrass the Kiran Kumar Government when he said that there were many irregularities in allotment of houses in his constituency.

“There are many irregularities in the allotment of Indiramma Houses in my constituency of Secunderabad Cantonment,” he told reporters here on Tuesday. “While 1,520 houses have been sanctioned in my constituency under the Indiramma Housing scheme, there were irregularities in nearly 1,000 houses," he said.

“I have brought the irregularities to the notice of Revenue department and asked them to take stringent action against those who occupied houses illegally,’ he said.

Shankar Rao has been courting controversy for firing at his own party men and ministers. He filed cases against Home Minister Sabita Indira Reddy and YSR family members. When asked to respond to CBI arrest of Jagati Publications Vice-President and auditor Vijay Sai Reddy, the Minister merely said “the law would take its course of action”.

He said the law enforcing agency should arrest all those involved in the case of disproportionate assets.
