TRS has hit back strongly at the comments of BJP national president J.P. Nadda and State president Bandi Sanjay Kumar on the execution of Kaleshwaram project stating that it exposed their “lack of basic knowledge on such huge irrigation projects lifting water to over 600 metres”.
Accusing the BJP of conspiring against Telangana from its infancy itself, TRS leaders including Minister V. Srinivas Goud and MLAs A. Venkateshwar Reddy, Y. Anjaiah Yadav and P. Narender Reddy, said that the BJP government at the Centre had transferred seven mandals of Telangana to Andhra Pradesh in the name of Polavaram project and also Lower Sileru hydro-electric project that allows low-cost power generation round-the-year within weeks of the State formation.
Before that, BJP had deceived the people of Telangana by not giving statehood in spite of its promise of ‘one-vote-two-states’ and giving statehood to Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and Uttarakhand in 2000. They sought to know where Mr. Sanjay was hiding during the Telangana movement.
