VHR asks party leaders to counter KCR's claims
Hyderabad, April 1 (INN): Rajya Sabha MP V. Hanumantha Rao on Friday asked the Congress leaders to do a reality check of claims being made by Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao on irrigation.
Speaking to media persons here, VHR said that the Chief Minister had promised to provide irrigation to one crore acres of land by completing all irrigation projects. However, he did not mention how he proposed to fund those projects. He also advised Congress leaders to visit all the irrigation projects' sites along with experts to cross check KCR's claims. He said if KCR has been doing real work, the Congress party should appreciate him by rising above party lines. Else, the Congress party should expose his failures.
VHR also criticised TRS Government for its failure to get funds for backward districts from the Central Government. He said that the Centre has recently given Rs. 700 crore to AP for development of backward districts. However, the Centre has completely neglected Telangana, he said.
