BJP Telangana unit president Bandi Sanjay Kumar on Sunday vowed to ensure that people of Mahabubnagar get sufficient water from the Rajolibanda lift irrigation scheme if his party is elected to power in the next elections.

Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao had promised to provide 15.6 TMC of water through this project but not even 5.5 TMC available during the united Andhra Pradesh is given now. It is time he talks to the CMs of AP and Karnataka to provide sufficient water to irrigate one lakh acres in Alampur, he said, addressing people. on the fourth day of the ‘Praja Sangrama Yatra’ traversing through Jallapur, Boravelli and Narayanapur villages
“If we come to power, we will provide water to even the tail-end region if necessary with lift projects. Telangana came into being on the promise of water, jobs and funds, but we have this unfortunate situation of crucial irrigation works kept aside and people having to go to the neighbouring State for healthcare and education as setting up of higher educational institutions and hospitals have been totally neglected,” he said.
