Telangana people want Cong govt back to fulfil their aspirations: Bhatti
Deccan ChronicleHYDERABAD: Congress Legislature Party leader Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka on Thursday assured farmers of Shamshabad mandal that the Congress would back them in their fight against the alleged encroachment of 700 acres of land in Jasneguda by Goldstone Company with the aid of ruling party leaders. The government had taken back land around Hyderabad worth '25 lakh crore that the previous Congress governments had given to the poor, including '5 lakh crore worth land in Ibrahimpatnam constituency. Bhatti said that while the previous Congress governments had designed the Babasaheb Ambedkar Pranahitha-Chevella project to meet the irrigation requirements of Ranga Reddy district, the BRS government had redesigned it as Kaleswaram project and stopped water coming to the district. “The BRS government fooled the people by claiming that it would provide water to Ranga Reddy district through the Palamuru-Ranga Reddy lift irrigation project but even after nine years not even a drop of water is given to the district. Ranga Reddy district Congress president Challa Narasimha Reddy, PCC general secretary Venu Goud, Borra Jnaneswar Mudiraj, Rachamalla Siddeshwar and other Congress leaders participated in the meeting.
