Jagadish Reddy slams Congress government rule, calls it zero development period

BRS MLA Jagadish Reddy accused the Congress-led Telangana government of political vendetta, lack of development, and neglect of the agriculture sector. He also claimed Congress ministers were rebranding BRS schemes and criticized water-sharing decisions with Andhra Pradesh.

Nalgonda: Calling the one and a half year rule of the Congress rule in the state a period of zero development, former Minister and BRS MLA G. Jagadish Reddy launched a scathing attack on Revanth Reddy government for devoting all its time to filing false cases against the political opponents in the rival parties to silence them. Addressing a news conference, he came down heavily on the administration for demolishing the house of the Municipal Chairman’ house at Chundur because of sheer political vendetta.

The former minister slammed the Congress for failing to initiate at least a single new projects in Nalgonda and accused the ministers from the districts of rebranding BRS-initiated schemes by putting up new boards. He singled out Minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy, stating that no new roads have been laid under his tenure, and accused the Komatireddy brothers of taking credit for BRS projects, including the construction of the Munugodu MLA’s camp office.

Reddy also criticized the Congress government’s for its handling of agriculture sector, stating that it was completely neglected. He contrasted the BRS’s governance, which he said elevated Nalgonda to the top during BRS regime through regular reviews on supply of fertilizers and seeds. The Congress government had failed to curb the influx of fake seeds. He pointed out that even Congress MLAs have expressed frustration in review meetings, questioning the government’s approach. He said only ministers speak in the reviews while elected representatives were sidelined.
Taking aim at Minister Uttam Kumar Reddy, Jagadish Reddy accused him of lacking knowledge about irrigation and civil supplies, alleging that both Krishna and Godavari river waters were being handed over to Andhra Pradesh. He claimed the Congress government is more focused on criticizing BRS chief K. Chandrasekhar Rao than safeguarding Telangana’s interests.
