Hyderabad: TPCC president A Revanth Reddy said the National Green Tribunal’s (NGT) orders on Palamuru Rangareddy Project would result in a severe loss to Southern Telangana. Foundation for Palamuru Rangareddy Project was laid in 2015 and it has been six years but the project works were being taken up at a snail’s pace, he said while addressing media persons here on Friday.

“This exposes State government’s lack of commitment towards welfare and the development of erstwhile Palamuru,” said Revanth Reddy adding that the State government should have roped in an experienced advocate to fight the case on behalf of Telangana State.

On the contrary, Andhra Pradesh government had completed the Pattiseema project, which lacked environmental clearances, much before the tribunal’s verdict, he charged.

Lashing at the BJP leaders in the State, he said BJP State president Bandi Sanjay and Union Tourism Minister G Kishan Reddy should initiate measures for obtaining environmental clearances for Palamuru Rangareddy project in 10 days.

“Congress will put up a relentless fight for Palamuru Rangareddy Project and those constructed on River Krishna as it is the only party which strives for the welfare of farmers,” said Revanth Reddy.
