Naidu gifted away KG Basin to Reliance: Sharmila

Alampur, Nov 24, 2012: Sharmila,
who has been undertaking Maro Praja Prasthanam Padayatra on behalf of YSR
Congress Party chief Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, has alleged that TDP chief
Chandrababu Naidu had gifted away the KG Basin to the Reliance Industries during his regime purely
for selfish reasons.

Addressing a public
meeting at Santhi Nagar in Alampur constituency of Mahabubnagar district during
the course of her Padayatra on Saturday, Sharmila said if the KG Basin had not
been handed over to the Reliance, we would have been in a position to supply cooking
gas to our homes through pipelines.

“We could also have
been spared of the problems we are facing now on the cooking gas front,” she
said, adding it is unfortunate that the state people are unable to use the
natural resources found in our state.

Sharmila slammed Chief
Minister Kiran Kumar Reddy saying the Government has diluted all welfare
schemes introduced by YSR on the pretext of funds crunch and Opposition leader
Chandrababu Naidu has been enjoying the fun without questioning the anti-people
policies of the Government.

“Why are you protecting
the Government without introducing no-confidence motion when you say that it
has no right to continue in power even for a single day?”
Sharmila questioned Naidu and asked people to teach a fitting lesson to both
Congress and TDP at the hustings.
