​Hyderabad: Refuting allegations of Irrigation Minister T Harish Rao that the Congress government had released 93 percent funds but spent only 50 percent on irrigation projects, Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) vice-president Mallu Ravi challenged the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) government to put the culprits in jail if it was true. He said there was no truth in the allegations made by Harish Rao and also there was no action against the Congress leaders.
Speaking to the media at Gandhi Bhavan here on Saturday along with official spokesperson K Mahesh after the party executive committee meeting, Ravi said the TRS government was giving an impression that it had completed the Kalwkurthi Lift Irrigation project just by inaugurating the project.
“The Congress government had completed 93 percent of the work of the Kalvakurthi project”, he said and strongly condemned the allegations of the Minister. Speaking on Mallannasagar land oustees issue, Ravi said the Congress leaders would meet Governor ESL Narasimhan and submit a memorandum on the forceful land acquisition by the TRS government.
Later, the party leaders would go to Gajwel to participate in a meeting organised by Congress activists and extend solidarity with the Vemulaghat farmers. He said the government was doing something on the ground and conveying different to the court.
He said the government was still implementing GO No 123 instead of Land Acquisition Act of 2013. He said the farmers of Vemulaghat were completing 100 days of relay strikes on September 12 and completing 50 days of imposition of prohibitory order under Section 144 Cr P C in the village on the same day.
