Government has fulfilled election promise of offering pattas: Bharath
Industries and Commerce Minister T.G. Bharath on Tuesday said the State government had fulfilled the promise made before the elections by offering 'pattas' to the people living in Gudem Kottala locality in Kurnool. Mr. Bharath said that giving pattas to the people of the locality was a promise made by IT Minister Nara Lokesh during his visit to Kurnool as part of his 'Yuvagalam Padayatra' before the 2024 general elections. The pattas were given to the beneficiaries as per the GOMs 30 issued in January by the NDA government. Mr. Lokesh issued pattas to the eligible beneficiaries in his Mangalagiri Assembly constituency and Kurnool, which Mr. Bharath represents. Kurnool is the second place where the pattas were issued as per the GO. A total of 150 beneficiaries were given pattas in an acre land in Ashok Nagar locality of the city. Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Bharath said that the beneficiaries were given pattas by the Revenue Department and soon the same will be registered on their name. Mr. Bharath said Collector P. Ranjith Basha and Joint Collector B. Navya played a key role in helping the beneficiaries get the pattas and added that the Kurnool Municipal Corporation (KMC) will lay roads, dig canals and provide power supply to the locality. The Minister said that the people of the State faced severe hardships during the five year regime of the previous government and the NDA government is fulfilling all the 'Super Six promises' it made before the elections. He asserted that the TIDCO houses will be handed over to the beneficiaries by the end of this year. Mr. Bharath also participated in various development programmes in KMC limits. He performed bhumi puja for the renovation of the Gadiyaram hospital, beautification of Pocket Park, and inaugurated the petrol filling station that would be jointly operated by the Indian Oil Corporation and the KMC at Joharapuram. He said that the corporation should not completely rely on taxes for taking up development works, but should search for alternate sources. For generating revenue through alternate sources, the KMC had started the petrol filling station and urged the people to extend their support by using it. He said that the area in front of Anand Theatre earlier used to be a hub for anti-social activities and has now been remodelled as Pocket Park. Meanwhile, Mr. Bharath participated in various welfare programmes sponsored by several individuals.
