Jagadish Reddy dares BJP to give Rs 18,000 crore package to Munugode

Deccan Chronicle  

HYDERABAD: Energy minister G. Jagadish Reddy, TRS in-charge for the Munugode byelection, said that the ruling party would withdraw from the fray if the BJP government at the Centre sanctioned a Rs 18,000-crore package for the development of the Assembly constituency and Nalgonda district rather than give a coal contract worth the same amount to its candidate Komatireddy Rajgopal Reddy. "Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union home minister Amit Shah and many Chief Ministers from BJP-ruled states visited Telangana several times in the last eight years. But they did not hesitate to give a contract worth `18,000 crore to Rajgopal Reddy so that he could join BJP and force an unwarranted by-election in Munugode," Jagadish Reddy said. The minister said though the Centre did not extend any support to improve the state’s power sector, Chandrashekar Rao gave the go-ahead for Yadadri power plant, a mega thermal power plant in Nalgonda district, by spending Rs 30,000 crore.
