Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader and Minister for Finance and Health T. Harish Rao has observed that Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) president A. Revanth Reddy is proving himself to be the true successor of former Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh N. Chandrababu Naidu, who in the past had said that “practising agriculture is a waste exercise”.
Speaking at a meeting held at Telangana Bhavan here on Sunday, where Congress leaders and others from Zaheerabad constituency joined the BRS, Mr. Rao said while Mr. Naidu said agriculture was an unfruitful exercise, Mr. Revanth Reddy was of the view that only three-hour free power was enough based on the logic that a majority of farmers in Telangana were with land-holding upto 3 acres.
He sought to know how could Mr. Revanth Reddy change his word on power supply position in Telangana during the Congress regime in combined AP, when he was with TDP, as it was he who said that there was no supply even to take bath at borewells after attending funerals. He pointed out that bursting of transformers and burning of motors were a regular feature during the previous Congress regime.
