Condemning what he termed as attempts by the Congress government to magnify a ‘minor damage’ of the Medigadda Barrage, having political motives, BRS working president and MLA K.T. Rama Rao has sought urgent repairs on the barrage to restore water supply to farmers for saving their withering crops.
Talking to the media at Medigadda Barrage in Mahadevpur mandal of Jayashankar Bhupalpally district late on Friday afternoon, he alleged that Congress leaders were indulging in mud-slinging against the BRS to settle political scores.
“It is not the first time that such an incident has happened. Kadem and Gundlavagu project gates were washed away and leakages occurred in Nagarjunasagar and Srisailam projects also, constructed during the successive Congress governments in the past,” he said.
