Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka said that the BRS would lose its deposit not only in the upcoming local body elections, but also in the next Assembly elections. Addressing the public meeting at Somala Tanda in Mahabubabad district on Tuesday, the Deputy Chief Minister alleged that during the last 10 years, the BRS government spent Rs.1 to Rs.2 lakh crore on the irrigation, but couldn’t provide water even to 10 acres. Now that the truth about Kaleshwaram is being exposed, they’re trying to cover it up with lies, he pointed out.
Bhatti Vikramarka stated that the Congress government under the leadership of Chief Minister Revanth Reddy is ready for a discussion in the Assembly on Krishna and Godavari river waters, but Opposition leader K Chandrashekar Rao must come forward to debate.
“They’re saying whatever they like about CM Revanth Reddy, claiming he doesn’t understand river basins. But didn’t he clearly explain the need to use Krishna and Godavari basin waters through a PowerPoint presentation at Praja Bhavan?” He said Chief Minister Revanth Reddy exposed with evidence the injustice done to Telangana during the BRS regime in water issues.
Bhatti Vikramarka reminded that KCR had publicly declared in Andhra Pradesh that the state could use Krishna-Godavari waters, ignoring basin priorities, and CM Revanth Reddy showed those video clips recently. “Revanth Reddy declared that over Rs.1 lakh crore was spent on welfare schemes, but BRS leaders cannot digest this truth. If they truly care about people, they should come to the Assembly, bring their data, and debate. Let’s see who is right, who is wrong," he said.
He explained that while peak demand during the previous government was 17,162 MW, in March this year, it rose by 2,000 MW. Even with the surge, there were no blackouts- 24x7 free power is being supplied to farmers, Bhatti added.
