CM has no understanding of river water: KTR

Hyderabad

Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president K.T. Rama Rao alleged that Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has “zero understanding” of river water issues and the Irrigation Minister is “dangerously ignorant”.

KTR asserted that while KCR has been strongly fighting for Telangana’s rightful share in Krishna waters, the Congress government has neither the competence nor the courage to respond. He accused the government of deliberately obstructing key irrigation projects like the Palamuru–Rangareddy Lift Irrigation Scheme (PRLIS).

Claiming that BRS had completed 90% of work, he said that the government failed to submit the DPRs, betraying Telangana’s interests.

Mr. Rama Rao alleged that the Congress government is indulging in diversionary politics and case dramas as it failed to answer the serious questions raised by the former CM (KCR) on irrigation projects and governance.

He challenged the Chief Minister to stop leaking stories to the media and declare what cases he intends to file. “You are the Home Minister as well. Speak openly than hiding behind leaks,” KTR said.

He alleged that the government is terrified of facing elections due to public anger and is instead filling posts through nominated positions. “If elections are held, farmers will teach Congress a fitting lesson,” he warned.
