Not just lunch, Vasalamarri has a big wish list for Telangana CM K Chandrasekhar Rao

HYDERABAD: More than the sumptuous lunch that chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao had promised to treat them to when he visits their village on Tuesday, people of Vasalamarri have kept a wish list ready for him. Houses, jobs, roads and drainage facilities, the villagers’ list is long.
Sarpanch Pogula Anjaneyulu said people have a lot of expectations from the CM. “We expect the very face of our village to change. We have great expectations from his visit and we are sure that the CM will agree to our requests,” he told TOI.

Little wonder, officials have already conducted a survey on the economic status of each family in the village. Officials have also conducted vaccination camps and almost all those who were available in the village were given Covid-19 vaccine.
“The villagers need houses. Most of the houses are old and are in dilapidated condition,” Anjaneyulu said. The villagers are also hoping that employment opportunities will be created for the youth and agricultural implements provided for farmers. The villagers want internal roads laid and underground drainage facilities. The village has a population of 2,600.
The invitation for lunch and also for the meeting to be followed at another location in the village is strictly for only the villagers. The villagers are being given passes for identification and entry. The lunch and the meeting will take place under rain-proof tents on a piece of land that has been readied for the purpose.
On October 31 last year, the CM had stopped by at Vasalamarri and interacted with the villagers and promised to pay a visit to the village. A few days ago, the sarpanch received a call from the CM that he would visit Vasalamarri on June 22.
In the last three days, officials and political leaders have been camping at the village to make arrangements for the CM’s visit.
