Hyderabad: TPCC president N. Uttam Kumar Reddy on Monday challenged the state government to disprove facts mentioned in his Powerpoint presentation on the irrigation sector on August 17. The TPCC chief said that he would prove that foodgrain production had fallen under the TRS government when compared to the previous Congress. “I am going to prove that the claim of Chief Minister K. Chandras-ekhar Rao that he would provide irrigation to one crore acres is bogus, his re-designing and re-engineering of irrigation projects is going to cost Telangana state heavily, causing serious damage to the irrigation sector,” he said.
Demanding that land should be acquired for any project only under the the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlem-ent Act, 2013 and not through orders like GO 123 and 124. He said the Congress was organising a farmers meet at Adilabad on Tuesday which will come out with a charter of demands for the welfare of farmers, including total waiver of crop loans.
