Former Minister Nagam Janardhan Reddy questioned the State government’s enthusiasm in painting a picture of successfully launching the Palamuru-Ranga Reddy Lift Irrigation Scheme (PRLIS), when only one pump out of the total 31 of the project was ready to function.
“Not even 40% of the works are completed and there are 30 more pumps to be readied, but Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao is portraying as if the entire project is completed. He ignored the project for 9 years and is starting just one pump because of the elections,” he charged at a press conference here on Saturday.
Mr. Janardhan Reddy further said that the BRS government wants to divert the attention from the Congress Working Committee (CWC) meeting, to be held in Hyderabad on September 16, and trying to create a show as it is afraid of the growing popularity of the Congress in Telangana. As per norms, the wet run should be done one month after the completion of the dry run of the pump. But, here government was doing it after just 13 days of the dry run.
