Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy said the state government is disbursing ₹9,000 crore to farmers under the Rythu Bharosa scheme soon after the municipal elections, adding that his government has spent a total of ₹1.10 crore in the two years of Praja Palan for the welfare of farmers.
After laying the foundation stone for an integrated school for Young India near Miryalaguda town in Nalgonda district on Wednesday, at a public meeting to launch the party’s election campaign, he exuded confidence of winning all 123 urban local bodies (ULBs) going to polls.
“I hope that women who are the main beneficiaries of government schemes will ensure the victory of Congress candidates in all 116 municipalities and seven municipal corporations,” he said.
Mr. Reddy continued his tirade against the main opposition BRS and former Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao, accusing the previous government of willfully neglecting key irrigation projects, including the Srisailam Left Bank Canal (SLBC) project in the erstwhile Nalgonda district.
“We had planned to complete the SLBC project within two years of coming to power, but unfortunately eight workers involved in the tunneling work were killed in a roof collapse. While everyone was mourning their deaths, they (KCR, KT Rama Rao and T. Harish Rao) were celebrating with joy that the work had stopped,” Mr Reddy said.
Targeting KCR over the wiretapping scandal, the chief minister demanded a public apology from the former CM and accused him of illegally tapping citizens’ calls. “He (KCR) even listened to the conversations between husband and wife. Shame on him,” Mr. Reddy said, describing phone tapping as a heinous crime.
The Chief Minister said that the state government spent ₹17,472 crore in municipalities in Telangana, of which ₹2,028 crore was spent on municipalities in Nalgonda district.
“We have spent ₹295 crore in Miryalaguda municipality alone,” he said, promising to take responsibility for the town’s development.
Stressing the need to vote for the ruling party in the upcoming municipal elections, he said, “We will remain in power for another eight years. We will ensure development in the municipalities. For development to happen, the ruling party must win,” he said.
Ministers Uttam Kumar Reddy, Komatireddy Venkat Reddy, Adluri Laxman Kumar, MP K. Raghuveer Reddy, MLA and other senior officials attended the meeting.
