TRS government to clarify on Telangana projects

With the Opposition hitting hard and raising questions on the Pranahita-Chevella and Palamuru-Ranga Reddy lift irrigation schemes, the TRS government has decided to counter and clarify regarding the projects.

A meeting was convened with elected representatives apart from the party leaders on Monday where Ministers T Harish Rao and P Mahender Reddy explained the salient features of the projects and the facts were being distorted by the Opposition parties.

Criticizing the previous Congress regimes for drawing huge amounts in the name of mobilization advance, Mr Harish Rao said that the government is redesigning the projects for the benefit of the people and not for the contractors. He further added that the government’s decision needs to be explained to the people and also that they have to counter the Opposition propaganda effectively.

TRS MP Balka Suman lashed out at the Congress for its incapability despite being in power for 10 years. He said that till the TRS Government had formed, the farmers’ suicides were on the rise but the government has fulfilled many of the promises in the past 17 months including wavier of farm loans.
