​Hyderabad: Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee President N Uttam Kumar Reddy on Friday announced that the Congress party would explain to the people of the huge irregularities being committed by TRS government in construction of irrigation projects.
Addressing a meeting in which irrigation experts and senior party leaders participated, at Gandhi Bhavan here, Uttam Kumar Reddy said the Congress party would visit each and every village in the State to explain the huge burden imposed on them due to the wrong policies of TRS government. He reiterated the allegation that Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao was spearheading the country's biggest scam in the name of re-designing the irrigation projects. He said he would not get intimidated by threats of KCR and he would continue to expose the failures of the government.
Uttam Kumar Reddy said the government, especially the Chief Minister, was under pressure since the Congress party gave its PowerPoint presentation on irrigation sector, exposing the claims of KCR. The Congress party gave a fitting reply to the KCR's presentation in the Assembly only after conducting thorough research.
The inability on the part of the government to counter the Congress party's exposure, the Chief Minister had resorted to the cheap tactics of threatening the opposition leaders that the latter would be implicated in false cases, he said. The TPCC chief said the Congress workers would conduct mass contact programme and explain the facts on each and every irrigation project in the State. The Congress party would build a mass movement against KCR's plans to "rob the State's exchequer" in the name of redesigning irrigation projects.
CLP leader K Jana Reddy, TPCC Working President Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka, former TPCC president Ponnala Lakshmaiah, former Minister Marri Sashidhar Reddy, TPCC Chief Spokesperson Sravan Dasoju, Jala Sadhana Samithi convener Nainala Govardhan, irrigation experts and senior leaders of Congress party attended the meeting.
Ponnala Lakshmaiah, in his presentation, claimed that the previous Congress government had built a reputation for designing best irrigation projects in the country and constructed SRSP, Srisailam Dam, Jurala and other big projects. He said not a single project received any objection from the Centre.
Further, he said Pranahit-Chevella project had received 14 major clearances. Sashidhar Reddy asked whether KCR could get national Project status for Kaleshwaram Project if he was so confident about its design. The meeting was also attended by Rajya Sabha MP Palwai Govardhan Reddy, MLAs G. Chinna Reddy and A. Sampath Kumar, MLCs Akula Lalitha and Ponguleti Sudhakar Reddy, TPCC Vice-Presidents Sabitha Indira Reddy and Mallu Ravi and other senior leaders.
