BJP decries Telangana govt apathy in tackling drought
The Telangana State government is not focussing its attention on tackling drought, State BJP president and MLA G Kishan Reddy said here on Wednesday. \"Some ministers are holding meetings on Mission Kakatiya (restoration of tanks) programme, others on the water grid. But no one is talking about drought,\" he said.
Hyderabad: The Telangana State government is not focussing its attention on tackling drought, State BJP president and MLA G Kishan Reddy said here on Wednesday. "Some ministers are holding meetings on Mission Kakatiya (restoration of tanks) programme, others on the water grid. But no one is talking about drought," he said.
The State government had also failed to represent to the Centre on the drought conditions prevailing in the State. The government should take steps like declaring areas where dry conditions prevailed as drought-hit mandals. He slammed the reported proposal to hike power tariff. He advised the Telangana State government to reconsider it.
Alleging that the State government had lacked clarity on the students' tuition fees reimbursement scheme, he said that all eligible students should be given the facility. Referring to the BJP's defeat in the Delhi Assembly elections, he said the party's vote share remained unaffected.
He said that AAP had announced populist measures like providing free drinking water and reducing power tariff but BJP focused on long-term measures and increasing purchasing power of the people. The Congress, he claimed, had transferred its vote to the AAP.
