Telangana CM’s survey places 26 MLAs in ‘Red Zone’ for poor show

Hyderabad : A sense of unease is said to be prevailing among ruling party MLAs after reports that Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy has commissioned a third-party survey across the state to evaluate their performance in several key areas.

Highly-placed sources revealed that the survey assessed the performance of the chief minister, the government, administration at district or local level, MLAs and what the people are expecting from the government.

The survey is also said to have found how some Congress leaders are sowing seeds of dissensions among the cadres against the MLAs who joined the ruling dispensation from BRS.

Interestingly, three ministers are facing allegations of interfering in the affairs of other Assembly constituencies and encouraging group politics to the annoyance of the sitting MLAs. They are also allegedly involved in real estate issues in the other Assembly segments and are supporting the leaders loyal to them.

This issue has become a topic of serious discussion within the CM and Gandhi Bhavan circles. The sources said that the CM is planning to deal with the `Red Zone’ MLAs first followed by a meeting with the ‘Orange Zone’ legislators after returning from Davos at the end of this month. In a relief to Revanth Reddy, the sources stated that the survey found no negative sentiments against him. All in all, as per the survey, the people in the state expect the Congress government to fulfill its election promises and want their MLAs to visit their areas and focus on development.
