Referring to the assurances made by the TRS to this effect in its election manifesto in the last Assembly polls, he said the COVID-19 pandemic caused delay in setting up of the two corporations over the past two years.
“I will bring this to the notice of Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao and strive to ensure establishment of the two corporations at the earliest,” he said.
