CK Babu wins. Whats in store for CTR??

CK Babu has won the recent assembly elections with a margin of approx 1600 votes. With this the jinx of chittoor is broken in the way that the present MLA is from the Party forming Govt and not from apposition, as the case was earlier.

To be frank no major development activity ever was taken up in ctr, even when CK babu was MLA earlier. The one and only excuse he could claim was that, then the congress was in opposition. What’s happened is happened. Now he is the sitting MLA and also claims, he is very close to CM YSR. Now its his turn to show gratitude to the people of ctr for showing relentless faith in electing him by putting his every effort for the sake of chittoor. He himself knows what the fate of chitoor had been in these years.
If he really wants to do something for ctr, it’s the time. Regarding a ministerial berth in present cabinet, the chances are grim because the opposition would cry foul and create a ruckus in assembly over this. However he can retain the chairmanship of Rayalseema Development Board and may have his say in the new Govt. Can anyone of us dare to say that chittoor has changed even a little from our childhood days. This should not continue.

I have discussed with several of our friends from chittoor regarding the priorities for the new govt. Most unanimous are:

1. First widen the roads immediately and provide central lighting.. As told earlier the proposals are ready for the following roads - MSR Junction to Nutrine, Sugar Factory to PCR Jn, Muncipal Office to Kattamanchi Byepass and Greamspet to Reddygunta. This entire project needs just 11 crores This is long due in ctr. Anyone can notice this, as all the roads are crowded and traffic is highly irregular. Widening of roads will help mainly in two things for ctr. (a) Solve the persisting traffic problem and creates good accessibility to all the corners of ctr. (b) Wide and beautiful roads will automatically lead to development of the town and will be a boost to expansion of town.

2. Fight for the sanction of telugu ganga water to NTR jalasayam via Tirupati using JNNURM funds.

3. Underground drainage facility for ctr.( Already proposals sent to Govt @ 76.2 crores).

4. No Govt college exists in CTR which has been a dist HQrs since British era(Approx since 1801). Instead of craving for a polytechnic college(which has no demand now a days), Demand for an Govt Engineering College which can also have Polytecnic classes in the second shift. Already branches of JNTU were started in several places like Pulivendula and Vizianagaram. Why doesnt ctr deserve this?

5. Provide more support and create enough pressure to start Christian Medical College as early as possible.

6. Appoint municipal authorities who are well experienced and have good exposure reg developments taking place in other towns. The onus is on the MLA.

Now friends, don’t you think these are the least that can be done to rectify the injustice done to CTR over the ages
