BRS steps up attack on drinking water crisis in Telangana

Stepping up its attack on the Congress Government, Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president K.T. Rama Rao has alleged that the ‘water war’ has begun in Telangana under the present regime.

Continuing to target the Congress Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy and the party, Mr. Rama Rao at a press conference at Telangana Bhavan, Hyderabad on Wednesday said: “The Chief Minister is crying hoarse on drought situation. However, the reality is that women are on the roads with empty pots to get drinking water.”

The BRS working president said while the previous Government focused on ensuring drinking water and irrigation sources, the present Congress regime is more interested in wooing leaders of other political parties in its fold. “The BRS government had ensured that right from hamlets (tandas) to Hyderabad City, there was never a day when water was not supplied to the people,” he said.
