Finance and Health Minister T. Harish Rao said that BJP president J.P. Nadda has been speaking lies about Telangana and it has exposed lack of coordination and internal bickering among party leaders.
“Mr. Nadda said that irrigation was not provided even a single acre through Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Scheme (KLIS). Similarly, he said that there was corruption in Kaleshwaram project, Central schemes are being campaigned as State schemes and the irrigation projects in Palamur would be completed if BJP comes to power. All these are lies and I am ready to counter them point by point,” said Mr. Harish Rao while addressing a party workers’ meeting held at Siddipet on Sunday.
“We are ready to prove Mr Nadda is wrong. Let him visit any corner of the State and we can bear the expenditure. Speak with farmers directly. In 20 districts out of the total 33, people are getting irrigation and drinking water. Mr. Nadda is speaking quite contradictory to what Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari spoke about Kaleshwaram project who described it as growth engine for Telangana,” said Mr. Harish Rao adding that another Union Minister Bisweswar Tudu told in Parliament that there was no corruption in the KLIS.
