KCR wanted to involve opposition, alleges Bhatti
Hyderabad, April 2 (INN): TPCC Working President Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka on Saturday alleged that Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao wanted to involve leaders of all opposition parties in his corrupt practices on irrigation projects.
Addressing a press conference at Gandhi Bhavan here, Bhatti said that the Chief Minister's invitation to all parties to participate in power-point presentation on irrigation sector in Assembly had a hidden agenda. He alleged that the ruling party was planning large scale corruption and irregularities to execute irrigation projects worth nearly Rs. 1.5 lakh crore. Since these irregularities would get exposed in future, the Chief Minister wanted to involve all parties so to give an excuse that it was a collective decision.
Bhatti said that the Congress party boycotted the presentation as it knew that it would prove to be a launching pad for a major corruption scandal. He said that the Congress party too had sought time to give its own presentation in Assembly. He said letters were given to Speaker S. Madhusudan Chary twice. However, the Congress MLAs were denied permission for the same. He alleged that the Chief Minister wants to sideline the opposition parties by taking unilateral decisions.
He claimed that the previous Congress regime has already initiated projects which would irrigate about 96 lakh acres of land. Therefore, KCR's claim of providing irrigation facilities to one crore acres of land was purely misleading. If KCR was fair in his approach, he should also admit the number of projects which he had kept pending, he said.
