CM has no understanding of river water: KTR

Hyderabad

Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president KT Rama Rao alleged that Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has “zero understanding” of river water issues and the Irrigation Minister is “dangerously ignorant”.

KTR alleged that while KCR was fighting strongly for Telangana’s rightful share of Krishna waters, the Congress government did not have the competence or courage to respond. He accused the government of deliberately blocking important irrigation projects such as the Palamuru-Rangareddy Lift Irrigation Scheme (PRLIS).

Claiming that BRS had completed 90% of the work, he said the government had failed to submit DPRs and had betrayed the interests of Telangana.

Mr. Rama Rao alleged that the Congress government was indulging in dilatory policies and drama of events as it failed to answer the serious questions raised by the former CM (KCR) on irrigation projects and governance.

He challenged the Prime Minister to stop leaking stories to the media and reveal what lawsuits he plans to take. KTR said, “You are also the Minister of Internal Affairs. Speak openly instead of hiding behind leaks.”

He claimed that the government was afraid of facing elections due to public anger and instead filled the posts through nominated positions. “If elections are held, farmers will teach a suitable lesson to the Congress,” he warned.
