CM owes explanation on withering crops: Eatala Rajender

Former minister and Malkajgiri BJP candidate Eatala Rajender said that Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy owes an explanation to the people on who should be held responsible for the crops withering in the farms due to the lack of availability of adequate water for agriculture.

Participating in ‘Meet the Press’ programme organised by the Telangana Journalists Union on Sunday, the BJP leader accused the Government of failing to provide succour to the farmers as it should have managed the available water in different projects in view of the shortage despite the issue of crumbling piers in the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Project.

He also questioned the Congress for luring elected representatives from the BRS without seeking resignation from their respective posts and thus following the same path as that of the K. Chandrasekhar Rao-led regime. Yet, in the just-released manifesto, the party has a different take on encouraging defections from other parties.
