HYDERABAD / NALGONDA : The ruling Congress and the Opposition BRS will hold separate meetings on Irrigation in Medigadda and Nalgonda respectively on Tuesday.
While the ruling party leaders, including Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, will visit Medigadda barrage to expose the alleged corruption of BRS in the construction of irrigation projects, Leader of the Opposition K Chandrasekhar Rao will address a public meeting in Nalgonda to expose the “failure” of the two-month-old Congress government “in protecting the interests of the state in river water sharing”.
While the Congress will highlight the inferior quality of Medigadda barrage works, the BRS will explain to the people how the Congress pledged the interests of the state to the Centre by handing over the common irrigation projects to the KRMB. Revanth, Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka, ministers, MLAs and MLCs will leave Hyderabad for Medigadda in a bus at 10.15 am, after attending the Assembly at 10 am.
They are expected to reach Medigadda by 3 pm and visit the barrage for around two hours. The government will also make a PowerPoint presentation at Medigadda. After concluding their visit, they will return to Hyderabad.
The BRS leaders, led by former minister G Jagdish Reddy, made elaborate arrangements for the public meeting in Nalgonda, KCR’s first since his party lost the Assembly elections. They are also making efforts to mobilise over two lakh people from Rangareddy, Mahbubnagar and the erstwhile Nalgonda district for the meeting.
Meanwhile, R&B Minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy said that KCR should apologise to the people of Nalgonda before addressing a public meeting for his failure to complete the Srisailam Left Bank Canal (SLBC) project when the BRS was in power.
