Congress, Telugu Desam allegations baseless: TRS government

Mr Rajender warned that punishment was inevitable for those supporting AP CM N Chandrababu Naidu while living on Telangana soil.

Hyderabad: Finance minister Etela Rajender on Thursday slammed Congress and Telugu Desam leaders for levelling baseless allegations against the TRS government over irrigation projects, flood havoc and new districts.

He challenged that he will rub his nose on the ground if Opposition proves that successive governments in the past had allocated over 3,500 cusecs of water to Kakatiya Canal as claimed by some Opposition leaders.

Mr Rajender warned that punishment was inevitable for those supporting AP Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu while living on Telangana soil.

“People rejected Congress and TD, these parties are living in the dark. TD termed agriculture as a ‘waste’ and farmers demanding 7-hour power supply were fired upon. The TRS government has stood by the people in rains and flood,” he said.

Mr Rajender added, “Congress turned Jalayagnam into Dhanayagnam. From 2005 to 2014, it did not give waters to even 5 lakh acres. No work was done on projects announced by the Congress. One of them is the '400 crore Mid Manair project
