Hyderabad, Nov.2 (PMI): BRS working president KT Rama Rao has slammed Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Revanth Reddy for their comments on the Kaleshwaram irrigation project, terming Rahul is as an India’s ‘Pappu’ while Revanth is as Telangana’s ‘Pappu’.
Addressing the party leaders at Telangana Bhavan here on Thursday, KT Rama Rao said that Rahul Gandhi and Revanth Reddy went to inspect the Kaleshwaram project and were propagating that the bridge would break.
“They talk like they are expert engineers.These two leaders were showing expansion joints of a bridge and planting fear in people by stating that the bridge would break,” he said.
The BRS party working president stated that Kaleshwaram was a blessing to the people of Telangana and the Congress party was a curse to the people of India.
“Rahul Gandhi does not know history nor does he make an effort to learn. He should either change the script or change the scriptwriter,” KTR said.
He asked Rahul Gandhi to know the facts about Kaleshwaram and not just read the script given by the leaders sitting beside him.
Sharply attacking Revanth Reddy, KTR said that the former was a blackmailer and a corrupt leader who was caught red-handedly in the vote for note case and was now selling tickets for money.
“Revanth Reddy was more dangerous than Dawood Ibrahim and Charles Sobhraj,” KT Rama Rao alleged.
“When the Telangana govt spent Rs 80,000 crore on the project, how can 1 lakh crore corruption take place?” he asked.
He said that Congress in 2008 laid a plan for the Pranahita project with Rs. 40,000 crores and there were no reservoirs, canals, or pump houses and asked if the estimates would not increase after 15 years.
He recalled the days when people played cricket in the SRSP canal in Manakondur as there was no water in Congress governance.
The Minister said that Medigadda was constructed in a place where Shabari, Pranahitha, and Godavari meet.
The intention is to maintain water in the Pranahita river to face drought conditions if any in the future.The BRS government has constructed reservoirs, canals, barrages, and pump houses. Among them, the Mallanna Sagar has 50 TMC, Ranganayaka Sagar 3 TMC, and Konda Pochamma Sagar 12 TMC, he explained.
KTR said the Telangana has ranked number one in agri production and this has became a reality after the BRS government constructed over 10 barrages and reservoirs like Sundilla, Annaram, Medigadda, Mallanna Sagar, Ranganayaka Sagar, Kondapochama Sagar and Gandhamalla. (PMI)
