KCR blamed Seemandhra rulers of the erstwhile united Andhra Pradesh of damaging the chain of tanks and lakes in Telangana. He said the Andhra rulers committed a sin of damaging the lakes while the same were spared by invading rulers. He said the chain of lakes and tanks were scientifically created by the Kakatiya rulers and the same were strengthened by Qutub Shahi and Asaf Jahi rulers. However, the Andhra rulers sabotaged everything to destroy the irrigation potential of Telangana. At the same he also added that even the local people had contributed to silting of the lakes.
In the past they used to take the silt during summer and use it in their farm lands but that they have stopped doing now.The Chief Minister hoped that the successful completion of Mission Kakatiya would bring back smiles on the faces of state farmers as it would ensure supply of water throughout the year. Describing the project as pious, he appealed to all citizens to support and join the project. KCR also strongly condemned the criticism by the Opposition parties on his government.
Making specific reference to the 'Farman' sent by Congress leader Mohammed Ali Shabbir recently, he claimed that his government had taken several steps for the welfare of the people in the last nine months. However, Shabbir Ali was not acknowledging those works. Irrigation Minister T Harish Rao, Agriculture Minister Pocharam Srinivas Reddy, TRS legislators, senior officials and other leaders also participated in the programme KCR also announced that the government would provide ST reservations for Khayita Lambadies of Nizamabad district and Valmiki Boyas of Mahbubnagar district and appointed a committee to provide reservations within six months.
