Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader and former minister Singireddy Niranjan Reddy hit back at Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy for his comments on Palamuru (combined Mahabubnagar district), BRS and its president K. Chandrashekhar Rao.
Terming the Congress party as the curse of Palamuru for being responsible for migration of 14 lakh people from the district and denying water for drinking needs and irrigation despite the Krishna river traversing through the district, the BRS leader said Mr. Revanth Reddy was speaking sheerly out of his arrogance in just four months after assuming power.
Reacting to the Chief Minister’s comments, made after attending the nomination papers filing of Congress candidate Ch. Vamshichand Reddy at Mahabubnagar on Friday, the BRS leader noted that till the formation of Telangana State, only about 80,000 acres was being given water under Jurala and another 13,000 acres under Kalwakurthy Lift Irrigation Scheme.
