Strengthen the hands of CM: Chidambaram

Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram  appealed  to  the  people  of Chittoor  district and  Congress leaders in the State to strengthen the  hands of Chief  Minister K Rosaiah  in  implementing the welfare schemes  and  proper  administration in the  State.

Participating  in the  Indiramma Housing program  in the remote  village  of  Kalikir in Chittoor district, the  Home  Minister  observed that   there  is no  dearth of funds  in the State.  All the welfare  schemes  will be  implemented .  Kindly co-operate with the authorities so  that the schemes will reach the  genuine  persons.’’

The Home Minister flying all the way to the remote village of Kalikiri merely for the hour-long government-sponsored programme  along with the Chief Minister is obviously making some eye-brows go up, especially in view of the sensitive political atmosphere prevailing in Andhra Pradesh.

Chief Minister s peaking on the occasion  said  The government is giving top priority to farmers  followed by   weavers. We will  carry on  all the welfare schemes without fail.  If  we  have committed any mistakes  while executing these  welfare schemes , kindly bring  them to our notice we will  rectify them.

The  CM  applauded the Arogyasri  program and  noted that  no other  state  in the  country is  adopting  such a  wonderful scheme.

Incidentally, Kalikir comes under the faction-ridden Pileru constituency represented in the assembly by none other than Assembly Speaker, N. Kirankumar Reddy who was also present at the  meeting.

Others  who were present  at the meeting include  Andhra  Pradesh  ministers  Galla  Aruna Kumari  and Pilli Subash Chandra  Bose.
