Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) president K. Chandrasekhar Rao launched a vitriolic attack on the Congress on Wednesday, accusing it of being the “main enemy of the people of Telangana” and heaping injustice and discrimination on it right from 1956, when its government at the Centre had forcibly merged the then Hyderabad State with Andhra to form Andhra Pradesh.
Participating in a roadshow at Miryalguda and Suryapet in support of the BRS candidate for Nalgonda Lok Sabha seat Kancharla Krishna Reddy, Mr. Chandrasekhar Rao said the people of Telangana, particularly the farming community, were a highly dejected lot for the last few months as the Congress government had failed to save the standing crop under Nagarjunasagar Left Canal by not releasing water.
“This was for the first time since the formation of Telangana State that a crop withered due to lack of irrigation water under the Left Canal,” the former Chief Minister said.
