Bhongir MP and senior Congress leader Komatireddy Venkata Reddy offered special prayers at the Brahamana Vellemla project on Tuesday and said the Congress will come back to power in the next elections.
Mr. Reddy said the project was a gift of Y.S. Rajashekhar Reddy to the people and it was sanctioned after he pursued with the late Chief Minister about how the backward Nalgonda will benefit from it. “YSR asked me if I needed anything and I asked for the project to give irrigation facilities to Nakirekal and Munugode constituencies and it was immediately sanctioned,” he recalled while addressing the huge gathering of Congress workers and locals.
The MP said 80% of the project was completed by the Congress government but the BRS government did not complete the 20% works for the last 9 years to deny credit to him. Now with elections around the government completed the works and had a trial run releasing the water into the reservoir only with an eye on the elections.
