Kalyana Lakshmi cheques distributed without much fanfare in Telangana

SIDDIPET: Authorities have distributed cheques of Shaadi Mubarak and Kalyana Lakshmi pending for the last 10 months in Gajwel constituency. Beneficiaries were called to all the tahsildar offices in the constituency on Wednesday where they were handed over the cheques without any fanfare.

Former minister T Harish Rao distributed the cheques in Siddipet constituency, while in Dubbak, local MLA K Prabhakar Reddy, minister Konda Surekha and Medak MP M Raghunandan Rao distributed them. In Gajwel constituency, tahsildars distributed the cheques in the absence of the MLA, former CM K Chandrasekhar Rao.

Recently, when state ministers Konda Surekha, Thummala Nageswara Rao and Ponnam Prabhakar visited Gajwel constituency, they wanted to distribute the cheques, but they stopped the process after KCR objected. After the distribution of the cheques was suspended for the time being, the leaders of the Congress recently laid siege to the MLA’s camp office in Gajwel town to put pressure on the former CM for immediate distribution of the cheques. Earlier, they also filed a complaint with the police saying that their MLA was missing.
