Hyderabad: YSRCP MLA Gadikota
Srikanth Reddy criticised that TDP had been robbing projects with the name of
Rayalaseema and that the people of the area were finally shown empty hand. He
slammed TDP’s indifference to the waters of Krishna river that dictated the situation
of Rayalaseema districts as well as Prakasam and Nellore districts. He spoke to
the media at the party’s central office in Hyderabad.

Srikanth Reddy
condemned irrigation minister Devineni Uma for attending the Krishna Water Management
Board meeting held at Delhi, unplanned. He complained that CM Chandrababu and
irrigation minister Devineni Uma were mortgaging the benefits of the state to
Telangana by staying negligent towards the unlawful extraction of river waters
by Telangana Government through Palamuru-Rangareddy and Dindi projects in spite
of already having plenty of water. He called water scarcity one of the
important problems the state had been facing since bifurcation had happened. He
slammed the Government’s negligence in not communicating with YSRCP and YS
Jagan and not questioning Apex council.

Srikanth Reddy
reminded how former CM Rajasekhar Reddy had worked in getting permissions and
fund sanctions for Polavaram project that would be a solution to the problems
of the state, when nobody else were bothered about it. He added that YSR had
finished the left and right canals. But Chandrababu, on the other hand, had
committed to corruption of worth Rs.1800 crore in the name of Pattiseema scheme
and called it quits by joining a few pipelines. He questioned if the Government
had granted at least a drop of water to Rayalaseema, having bluffed that
Pattiseema scheme was meant for that area alone.

Srikanth Reddy reminded
how MP YV Subbareddy had questioned in the parliament if Pattiseema was part of
Polavaram project or not and TDP had answered it was not, much to the surprise
of the BJP leaders too. Now this had led Telangana to demand for 40 TMC share
in Pattiseema and 95 TMC share in Polavaram, he complained. He opined that the
chief ministers of both the states together were destroying the future of the
people of Rayalaseema, Nellore, Prakasam districts.

Srikanth Reddy slammed
Devineni Uma for being partial against Rayalaseema, being the person who had
held dharna earlier when YSR had initiated Pothireddypadu project. He stated
that YSRCP’s repeated pleas about the water scarcity in Rayalaseema and about
the importance of maintenance of 854 feet deep water in Srisailam reservoir In
order to provide water to Rayalaseema via Pothireddypadu and Veligonda had gone
waste.

He exclaimed why TDP
could not even mention Rayalaseema in the river board meeting. He objected to
the lack of commitment of TDP towards the people of Rayalaseema and negligence
to answer YSRCP’s questions regarding the issue. He slammed the Government for
blaming YSRCP for the disparities created by TDP among areas. He reminded that
YSRCP was the only party wishing for people to stay united.
