Anti-Corruption - Political
Zero political corruption in Kukatpally: Every rupee of MLA funds is wisely and accountably spent. While awarding contracts, strict procedures are followed and no individual or organisation is favored. The public can see who executed each work in detail (see home page)
The land values in Kukatpally are very high; we urge people to think about what would have happened if any other representative was in the place of JP. In the neighboring constituencies, many constructions that are in-progress are owned by the current elected representatives as they misuse their authority and violate most of the anti-pollution rules
Anti-Corruption - Bureaucracy
