Revenue Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy has dismissed the Bharat Rashtra Samiti’s claim that the Congress Government has adopted a vindictive attitude against their party and hence, a series of cases are being registered against its leaders.
Cases are being registered against the BRS leaders because of the incidents involving rampant misuse of power by the previous Government at the expense of the State’s interests. The Minister exuded confidence that the Congress’ tally in the ensuing elections to Lok Sabha would be in double digits. “Going by the present situation, the BRS will hardly get one or two seats in Lok Sabha elections,” he said.
The Minister, in an informal chat with reporters in Hyderabad on Thursday, expressed concern over a section of media that was trying to project the Congress Government in bad light with reports on water shortage and falling levels of water in reservoirs. Water shortage was because of the “irresponsible attitude” of the previous Government which did not take steps anticipating the situation in advance.
