Congress leader says KCR has moral right to seek votes in Sagar
Senior Congress leader and MLC T. Jeevan Reddy has alleged that grave injustice is being done to combined Mahabubnagar and Nalgonda districts by the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) government as it is unable to stop Rayalaseema Lift Irrigation Project taken up by Andhra Pradesh. He observed that A.P. Chief Minister Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy had taken up RLIP by showing the drawal of third tmc ft of water from Kaleshwaram project by Telangana. Although the State government was unable to completely utilise even the 2 tmc ft of water lifted every day with Kaleshwaram project, the lifting of third tmc ft works were taken up only to get commissions, Mr. Reddy said speaking to newspersons here on Monday. Stating that Telangana State was formed for its rights on river water, jobs and funds the Congress leader said the TRS was unable to stop A.P. from going ahead with RLIP taken up illegally in violation of the riparian rights of Telangana and also in violation of the tribunal allocations. The State government was not able to stop RLIP which was also in violation of A.P. Reorganisation Act.More Related News
