Opposition cries foul In Telangana state when Spending of Common Good Fund (CGF) by CM to fulfil his personal vows happened.

The Congress on Friday threatened to move High Court against Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao for using public money to fulfil his personal vows.

Congress leader Marri Shashidhar Reddy said he would file a petition in the High Court and he added that the funds mobilised under Common Good Fund should be utilised for renovation of old temples and to financially assist temples with no income. “However, the CM donated ornaments worth approx Rs 10 crore from the CGF to the TTD, the richest temple, which is illegal,” Mr Reddy said.

When hundreds of temples in Telangana are lying in dilapidated condition and hundreds of temples cannot afford to perform even daily rituals to gods due to lack of funds, he said, “Instead of taking care of such temples, the Anyone questioning this wastage is being verbally attacked by CM and TRS leaders.”

CPI leader Chada Venkat Reddy said the CM has been indulging in unnecessary splurging of money. “He should realise that as CM he should be custodian of public money. Unfortunately, he himself is indulging in wasteful expenditure,” the CPI leader said.
