Thirty-two Additional District Collectors of Telangana are in for a pandemic-time bonanza. Chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao has bought them 32 Kia Carnival cars, each costing around Rs.25 to 30 lakh each. This at a time when the state is reeling under a debt of Rs.40,000 crore,besides battling the debilitating Covid pandemic, opposition leaders have alleged.
The BJP has called the move “criminal splurge” by Chief Minister Rao to “appease bureaucrats” in the state.
The Congress spokesperson alleged that the Telangana Rashtra Samithi government, instead of spending on ramping up the number of beds in government hospitals or buying buses for public transport, was misusing public money by buying cars for bureaucrats.
