Telangana Congress president A. Revanth Reddy blamed Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao for “shelving” the Pranahita Chevella and Palamuru Ranga Reddy projects thus denying water to the erstwhile Ranga Reddy district and benefitting only Medak district.
Mr. Reddy, who was addressing a huge public meeting at Parigi, organised as a part of “Mana Ooru – Mana Poru” programme, asked the Chief Minister if he is willing to take oath on Yadadri Narasimha Swamy on these projects. “Will he take the oath that he was not responsible for shelving the Palamuru Ranga Reddy project and also the Pranahita Chevella project started by the Congress,” he asked.
He said the Telangana government submitted an affidavit in the National Green Tribunal (NGT) that it was stopping all works on the Palamuru Ranga Reddy Lift Irrigation project. “Had this been completed within 3 years of Telangana formation, the AP government would not have taken objection to it,” he claimed.
