Criticising the State government, Rao accused it of acting vindictively and doing injustice to Telangana’s farmers.

“The government should not think with a sense of vengeance. The State government is doing injustice to the farmers of Telangana,” he remarked.

He also urged the government not to compromise Telangana’s water rights for political gain, saying, “Do not trample on Telangana’s water rights for the sake of politics.”

Expressing confidence in the triumph of justice, the former Minister added, “Ultimately, justice will prevail. We have faith in justice and in divine power. Though we are not in government, we will provide all the information available to us.”

Rao is scheduled to appear before the Justice PC Ghose Commission later today to respond to queries related to the Kaleshwaram project, including the sinking of piers and alleged irregularities in the construction of the Medigadda, Annaram, and Sundilla barrages.
