Minister for Municipal Administration and Urban Development K.T. Rama Rao launched a broadside on the central government, accusing it of politicising the development of Cantonment.
Speaking after the launch of Nala development works for Sanathnagar, Cantonment and Kukatpally constituencies here on Saturday, Mr. Rama Rao said despite repeated pleas to the centre for support in the development of Cantonment, the latter has been deliberately playing politics over it.
Request for defence lands for distribution to the poor has been ignored, despite the offer for compensatory allotment of alternative land. Housing pattas for 20,000 persons is pending for the same reason.
