Telangana Govt Debunks BRS Claims on Sita Rama Project Progress

Deccan Chronicle  

HYDERABAD: The state government on Tuesday trashed the BRS’ claims that 90 per cent of the work on the Sita Rama lift irrigation project was completed by the previous BRS led government, with irrigation minister N Uttam Kumar Reddy revealing that the previous regime had completed just 39 per cent of it. Addressing a press conference along with his Cabinet colleague, revenue minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy, Uttam Kumar Reddy said the BRS leader T. Harish Rao was making false claims on the project. He said the reason for the BRS government led by former chief minister K. Chandrashekar Rao to redesign the Rajiv Dummugudem lift irrigation scheme and the Indirasagar Rudramakonda LIS was for looting commissions. “The Sita Rama project may have been started by the BRS government but it did not even pay the power utilities so the pumps could be tried out.
