Senior BJP leader comes down heavily on TRS, Cong; rebuts rumours of him quitting the party
Hyderabad: Unhappy over the manner in which the entire Opposition was maintaining silence against the non governance in the State, BJP senior leader Nagam Janardhan Reddy announced that he would be launching Telangana Bachao Mission on May 9. Nagam said he had chosen that date as he had sentimental value to it. It was on this day he had launched Telangana Nagaara Samiti to reignite the Telangana movement, he said.
Under the Telangana Bachao Mission, Reddy will visit all the lift irrigation projects in the State to check the progress of construction work. According to Reddy, any State government will be able to give drinking water only after the irrigation projects are completed. He further rubbished the claims of the TRS government that silt was being removed from tanks for the first time. He said the TRS government was talking as if no other government had any brain.

The previous governments had also taken up de-silting under ‘Neeru-Meeru’ programme, Reddy said. Reddy alleged that the TRS government was destroying all village tanks in the name of Mission Kakatiya. He said there was no detailed project report (DPR) for another prestigious programme, Water Grid. He branded the two flagship schemes of TRS government as only excuses to rob the public coffers.
He also took exception to Telangana Political JAC chairman Prof Kodandaram’s endorsement of Mission Kakatiya. Replying to a question about speculations that he was feeling suffocated in the BJP and was contemplating Ghar Wapsi, Reddy said while joining the BJP he had told Rajnath Singh that he would serve the party without any expectations, if the BJP voted in favour of Telangana Bill. “There is no change in my stand and I am not planning to quit BJP,” he added.
He said while it was a fact that there were some problems, he said he believed in value based politics and was a member of a responsible party. “I have is no intention to quit BJP. Media is free to derive its own conclusion,” he said. The BJP leader also pooh-poohed the claims of Chandrashekar Rao that he alone was responsible for achieving separate Telangana. He said it was a combined effort of all major political parties and more so the BJP. The BJP had introduced a private members Bill in Parliament first.
Though Rao was in Central government and later as MP he did not make any such moves, Nagam said. He lashed at the Congress for being a mute spectator when the Chief Minister announced in the Assembly that he would shift Secretariat to another place. Reddy lambasted Chandrashekar Rao for claiming that his was a clean government without any corruption. “On the contrary, you will know the amount of corruption in public offices if you visit Telangana’s villages,” Reddy averred.
