Congress Swindled Funds Of Pranahita-Chevella Project: Talasani

Hyderabad, June 17 (Maxim News): Anmial Husbandry Minister Talasani Srinivas Yadav said TRS govt created history by constructing Kaleshwaram project in a record time.

Talking to mediapersons here today, the minister slammed the Congress and the BJP for their baseless allegations of irregularities on the Kaleshwaram project. He accused the previous Congress regime of swindling funds of the same project began with the name of Pranahitha-Chevella. Now, they are making false charges as they are known for corruption, he said.

The minister further alleged that the Opposition parties were making a hue and cry as they are not able digest the works that will push agriculture production in the State, he charged. He found fault with Congress leader Bhatti Vikramarka that only 15 per cent works were completed and corruption was involved. He also said Bhatti’s plea to AP Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy to avoid visiting the Kaleshwaram project launch was totally wrong and mischievous, he felt.

There was no iota of truth in his comments, Srinivas Yadav said. He also charged the Congress with coming in the way of the project works. The Congress had merely taken up the Pranahitha-Chevella project and looted crores of funds, he alleged. Now, the TRS government has changed its name as Kaleshwaram and with redesigning, it was tapping more water for ample use, he claimed.

Chief Minister KCR did a lot of work for the project to be launched on June 21, he said. The State government invited Maharshtra Governor Ch Vidyasagar Rao, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, AP Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy, who are likely to attend it, he said. He also charged the Congress leaders with switching loyalties to other parties as they lost faith in the TPCC chief and others. (Maxim News)
