BRS to take up padayatra for Palamuru Rangareddy project

The Bharat Rashtra Samithi has accused the Congress government of neglecting the Palamuru Rangareddy Lift Irrigation Scheme and announced a padayatra in June to press for completion of pending works.

Mahabubnagar: Accusing the Congress government of sidelining the Palamuru Rangareddy Lift Irrigation Scheme (PRLIS), the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) announced plans to undertake a padayatra in June to demand completion of the pending works.

The BRS government had taken up the PRLIS to curb migration from erstwhile Palamuru district. Accordingly, the majority of works have been completed, with only 10 per cent pending, former Minister V Srinivas Goud said.

Addressing media persons here on Friday, he said the BRS leaders would take up a padayatra from Narlapur to Uddandapur reservoir and demand the Congress government complete the remaining works.

“The action plan will be announced after discussing with our president K Chandrashekhar Rao,” Goud said.

As Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy hails from Palamuru, people believed that he would ensure development of the region. But, they are regretting having elected him as the Chief Minister, former Minister S Niranjan Reddy said.

The Congress government was only focused on conducting a false campaign on Kaleshwaram and was neglecting the PRLIS, he slammed.

Former Minister C Laxma Reddy charged that the Congress government had even failed to conduct a review meeting on the PRLIS pending works. Despite the Congress leaders filing cases and attempting to halt the project, the BRS government had completed 90 percent of the work, he said.

“We waited all these days to give some time for the government to complete the pending works. Any further delay will not be tolerated,” Laxma Reddy added.
