HYDERABAD: Panchayat Raj Minister Danasari Anasuya, alias Seethakka, on Thursday revealed that the government will commence 1,01,589 rural infrastructure works, to be carried out at a total estimated cost of Rs 2,199 crore, on August 22.
Seethakka, along with SC and Minority Welfare Minister Adluri Laxman Kumar, unveiled the Panula Jatara 2025 at the Secretariat here.
Later, speaking to reporters, Seethakka said that under the ‘Panula Jatara’, the government will undertake the construction of gram panchayat, Anganwadi buildings, cattle sheds, check dams, plastic waste units, community toilets, rural roads, toilets in schools, and other rural infrastructure projects.
She urged all people’s representatives to participate in the foundation-laying ceremonies during Panula Jatara in their respective constituencies.
She explained that once completed, these works will not only enhance rural infrastructure but also provide employment opportunities to the rural population.
The minister recalled that the Panula Jatara, launched in November 2024 with Rs 4,529 crore, was a great success.
Meanwhile, Seethakka lashed out at BRS working president KT Rama Rao for criticising the Congress Party. She said: “KTR said that Congress is a third-class party. KTR should explain what third class is. KTR has a dirty mind.”
When reporters asked about the relations between her and Minister Konda Surekha, she said: “There are no differences between Minister Konda Surekha and me. When women leaders rise in politics, people spread false information about them. I want to clarify that there are no political or personal differences with Minister Konda Surekha.”
