Kothagudem Congress sarpanch accuses officials of blocking Rudrampur developmentA Congress sarpanch in Rudrampur, Kothagudem district, accused Panchayat Raj officials of obstructing development works, including basic repairs, and criticised the electricity staff for similar neglect. By Telangana Today Published Date - 7 August 2026, 09:14 PMKothagudem: The officials in the Minister Seethakka’s panchayat raj department seem to be undermining the elected members if the allegations made by a Congress sarpanch in the district are true. Rudrampur sarpanch, Banoth Kesli speaking at a gram sabha held to discuss development plans on Friday, made rather serious allegations against the panchayat raj officials. The GM responded and took the matter to the company civil department officials’ attention, but the works remain incomplete to this day, Kesli noted. Deputy sarpanch Thota Raju of CPI warned that if the officials do not change their attitude, the issues would be taken to the notice of higher authorities.
