Banakacherla: BRS blames Congress, BJP ‘silence' for AP going ahead
HYDERABAD Failure of Telangana and Central governments to stop the Polavaram-Banakacherla Link Project (PBLP) of Andhra Pradesh and silence of Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, are making AP Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu and his son N. Lokesh reiterate that they would construct the project, come what may, BRS leader T. Harish Rao has said. Addressing a press conference here on Friday, the former minister for irrigation accused Mr. Revanth Reddy of having a tacit understanding with the AP Government (Mr. Naidu) and the Centre and cooperating with the construction of the project. He sought to know why neither the State Government nor the Chief Minister or his Cabinet colleagues were not responding to Mr. Lokesh's statement. He stated that Mr. Revanth Reddy was creating a confusing situation around the issue so that AP could continue its work pertaining to the project. Otherwise why the Chief Secretary of Telangana would write to the Ministry of Jal Shakti making it clear that the State would not attend the meeting convened to discuss the project and the Chief Minister along with Irrigation Minister and authorities would participate in the meeting and agree for a committee to discuss the outstanding issues including PBLP. Stating that Mr. Revanth Reddy was bent up expressing gratification to his political mentor Mr. Naidu by allowing work on PBLP, Mr. Harish Rao reasoned that the silence of Congress and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on the planned project was making Mr. Naidu bulldoze his way. It was due to the cooperation of Mr. Revanth Reddy, Mr. Naidu and Mr. Lokesh were speaking with such high conviction in the matter. The BRS leader asked the AP Government and its bigwigs why the Central agencies such as the Central Water Commission, Polavaram Project Authority, Godavari River Management Board, the Expert Appraisal Committee of MoEF had returned the PBLP proposal. He pointed out that it was because of the Telangana Congress leaders' silence had allowed expansion of Pothireddypadu Head Regulator to enhance its water drawal capacity from 11,400 cusecs to over 60,000 cusecs. On Mr. Lokesh's statement that the AP Government had never opposed Telangana's projects including during his father's tenure as the Chief Minister during 2014-19, the BRS leader suggested that he find out who addressed seven letters to the Centre against the Kaleshwaram project during that period. He suggested to agree for 968 tmc ft assured water in Godavari to Telangana, withdraw complaints/letters wrote against Telangana's projects, agree for 155 tmc ft more Krishna water on diversion of Godavari water to Krishna and agree for 65% share in surplus waters of Godavari before asking support for PBLP.

Naidu criticises Jagan for visiting ex-minister in jail
Agency: PTI Kadapa (Andhra Pradesh), Aug 1 (PTI) Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Friday accused opposition leader YS Jagan Mohan Reddy of backing indecent conduct by visiting former minister K Govardhan Reddy, who allegedly made disparaging comments against a woman MLA, in jail. During his Nellore trip on Thursday, Jagan visited the district jail to meet senior YSRCP leader and former minister K Govardhan Reddy. After that he visited the family of senior party leader N Prasanna Kumar Reddy whose house was recently ransacked allegedly by TDP cadres for making allegedly 'disparaging comments' against a woman TDP MLA. 'Instead of condemning the behaviour (of Prasanna Kumar Reddy), Jagan Mohan Reddy went and supported it by meeting the person who made such remarks," said Naidu, addressing a village meeting. He asserted that if any leader in his party was found guilty of wrongdoing would face disciplinary action and that his government would not tolerate misconduct. According to Naidu, Jagan Mohan Reddy used crowd-pulling images from his recent Bangarupalem visit to 'falsely' portray that a large number of people also turned up for his Nellore programme. He warned people not to trust such alleged misinformation and added that blindly following it is like 'holding onto a dog's tail to cross the Godavari River." Further, Naidu observed that over one lakh widows, earlier left out from the pension scheme were included this month. He assured that Rs 5,200 crore will be spent annually to support eligible women and widows under this scheme as part of the TDP-led NDA government's commitment to inclusive welfare policies.
