A delegation of TDP MPs and MLAs from undivided Anantapur district along with Union ministers from the State submitted a representation to Union Home Minister Amit Shah seeking renewal of FRCA to Anantapur-based Rural Development Trust (RDT), in New Delhi on Monday (August 11).
The delegation comprised of MPs Ambica Lakshminarayana and BK Pardhasaradhi from Anantapur and Hindupur respectively, TDPLP leader Lavu Srikrishna Devarayulu, MLAs Paritala Sunitha, Amilineni Surendra, Daggubati Venkateswara Prasad and others. They met Mr. Amit Shah along with Union Civil Aviation Minister Kinjarapu Rammohan Naidu.
The TDP delegation appraised Mr. Amit Shah about the various service activities done by the RDT in the drought-hit Anantapur region over the past 50 years and how the activities have brought a change in the life of the people of the region. They also informed the Union Minister about the various ongoing service activities of the RDT in health and education sectors and how they would be affected, if the services of the Trust come to a halt.
They said that the lives of thousands of people would be impacted with the non-renewal of FCRA and urged Mr. Amit Shah to look into the application for renewal of RDT that was still pending.
Speaking after meeting the Union Home Minister, MLAs Sunitha and others said that Mr. Amit Shah had responded positively to their representation and hoped a favourable decision from the Centre. The MLAs said they informed in detail the services being extended by the RDT to Mr. Amit Shah.
