Hyderabad: Union minister of state for home G. Kishan Reddy on Saturday faulted Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao for not attending the Niti Aayog meeting in Delhi.
Addressing a meeting in Kukatpally, Mr Reddy said the Niti Ayog meeting discussed important issues like optimum utilisation of rainwater and prevention of drought conditions.
He said Mr Rao had always accused the Centre of not having a plan to utilise water resources when more than half of the 70,000 tmc ft available was going waste into the sea.
He reminded that Mr Rao had several times claimed that he had studied for three years the utilisation of water resources nationwide and that he would place his ideas at the appropriate time.
Mr Reddy asked why Mr Rao did not use the Niti Aayog platform to discuss his ideas. “Is this the commitment KCR has,” Mr Reddy asked.
He alleged that the KCR government had forgotten all about people’s welfare. “They are spending money on projects for the commissions and diverting funds for their self interest,” he said.
