Hyderbad: Minister for Panchayat Raj K Tarakarama Rao on Friday accused the Congress leaders of trying to cause suspicions in the minds of people on Water Grid project. Speaking to the media at Telangana Bhavan here, KTR said the Congress was a tainted party and had been rejected by the people. Its leaders were involved in various scams, he said. Describing Congress party as ‘Scamgress’, he said the party had no moral right to criticise TRS government.
- Minister accuses Congress leaders of causing suspicions among people on Water Grid project
- Says Water Grid is intended to provide drinking water to every household
He said it was ridiculous on the part of AICC General Secretary Digvijay Singh to suspect the TRS government's schemes fearing scam in projects like Water Grid. He said instead of suspecting the TRS government, Digvijay Singh should introspect the involvement of his party leaders in different scams.
Strongly defending the Water Grid project, KTR said that the scheme was meant to provide drinking water to every household in Telangana and not to benefit the pipes or any other industry. KTR also slammed Digvijay Singh for referring to TRS as family party. He said if Singh's allegation was true, then the same rule applies to the Congress party which was controlled by Motilal Nehru, Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi and now Rahul Gandhi. He said unlike the Congress party, TRS came to power through people's movement.
