Telangana CM Orders Constituency-Wise Audit of Poll Promises, Warns Officials Against Defying Directives
Hyderabad, June 15 (TNT):Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy on Monday directed the Planning Department to prepare a constituency-wise report on the implementation of promises made by the government and reviewed the progress of the 99-day ‘Praja Palana–Pragati Pranalika’ programme conducted across the state.
During a review meeting on the special initiative carried out between March 16 and June 12, the Chief Minister sought details on assurances made to the public during his district tours and government programmes since assuming office and the extent of their implementation.
Describing the programme as an exercise that brought the government closer to the people, Revanth Reddy reviewed department-wise initiatives and the outcomes achieved so far. Officials from various departments submitted reports detailing activities undertaken from the district level down to villages.
The Chief Minister appreciated departments that actively participated in the 99-day action plan and recalled his earlier instructions to senior officials, from Principal Secretaries to District Collectors, to undertake monthly field visits.
Taking a serious view of non-compliance, Revanth Reddy directed Chief Secretary K. Ramakrishna Rao to submit a report identifying officials and District Collectors who had failed to conduct field visits.
He also ordered that explanations be sought immediately from such officials as to why disciplinary action should not be initiated against them.
“The government will not tolerate officials who fail to comply with its directives,” the Chief Minister warned.
Revanth Reddy observed that some departments had failed to adequately publicise initiatives undertaken under the ‘Praja Palana-Pragati Pranalika’ programme and directed senior officials to ensure wider dissemination of government activities through media and digital platforms.
He instructed officials to systematically record feedback received from public representatives and citizens and ensure that issues raised during village visits were resolved promptly.
The Chief Minister also directed departments to document all development works, foundation stones laid and public assets created during the past three months.
Revanth Reddy asked Panchayat Raj officials to prepare an immediate list of villages lacking Gram Panchayat buildings and formulate an action plan for constructing new facilities.
The meeting also reviewed the installation of solar power plants on school buildings, implementation of facial recognition systems in education and healthcare institutions, and attendance-monitoring mechanisms for employees in schools, colleges, Primary Health Centres (PHCs) and major hospitals, including Osmania and Gandhi Hospitals.
To strengthen monitoring, the Chief Minister ordered district-wise reviews of the Praja Palana programme and directed the appointment of a senior IAS officer as Special Officer for each district.
These officers, working in coordination with District Collectors, will review the implementation of special programmes undertaken during the 99-day period, assess development works and gather public feedback on welfare schemes.
The Chief Minister further instructed officials to release district-wise progress reports and compile details of government schemes, beneficiaries and development works at the district, constituency, mandal and village levels.
He said all such information should be integrated into a public dashboard to improve transparency and accountability.
Rajya Sabha member Vem Narender Reddy, DGP C.V. Anand, Principal Secretary to the Chief Minister Sheshadri and senior officials from various departments attended the meeting.
