Sack Ministers Facing Charges, Demands Lok Satta

The Lok Satta Party today demanded that the Chief Minister safeguard the image and prestige of the Government by dropping Ministers facing various allegations.

In a media statement, Lok Satta Party General Secretary Katari Srinivasa Rao pointed out that Ministers facing serious allegations of corruption or moral turpitude should resign on their own.

The Chief Minister has no alternative to sacking the Ministers if they face an arrest warrant, or convicted in a court of law or if a court frames charges against them.

On the exodus of Assamese from Hyderabad, Mr. Srinivasa Rao wanted the State Government to take all measures to ensure their safety. Assamese like any other citizens of India have the right to live and work anywhere in the country.

Decentralization need of the Hour: DVVS Varma

Politics and administration should revolve round making every child realize its true potential and not on making people dependent on the Government for the sops it throws at them, said Lok Satta Party Working President D. V. V. S. Varma here today.

Addressing a gathering after unfurling the National Flag at the party headquarters on Independence Day, Mr. Varma said the objective could be realized if people worked collectively.

Although the country has registered considerable progress since Independence, it falls far short of its potential, said Mr. Varma. By focusing on sops and subsidies, traditional political parties have been stifling people’s urge to come up in life on their own. Thanks to centralization of power, one has to look up to Hyderabad or Delhi for solutions to problems in rural areas. Empowerment of citizens through decentralization will promote good governance he added.

Party leaders Katari Srinivasa Rao, V. Laxman Balaji, P. Bhaskara Rao, S. Manorama, M. Satyanarayana and P. Sivaji took part in the program.
