Ponguleti also questioned the effectiveness of the much-hyped Mission Bhagiratha.  “The Mission Bhagiratha despite spending Rs. 45,000 crores by the previous government has failed to provide water to villages.  The BRS has pushed the State into a debt trap during the past 10 years.  They have come to power by making false promises by harping the slogan of ‘null’, ‘nidhulu’, ‘niyamakalu’ slogan,  “the Minister alleged.  

On the issue of the phone tapping row, Ponguleti claimed that BRS tried to gain politically by tapping the phones of top leaders.  ‘Besides my phone, my staff also was targeted.  They did not even leave my driver, even his phone was tapped, claimed the Revenue Minister.  (Maxim News)
