Tension at council meeting after VMC rejects water pipeline project
The uproar was sparked by opposition TDP corporators, who accused the council of dismissing the proposal without any deliberation. The plan aimed to ensure clean drinking water access to JAMAC residents.
A chaotic scene unfolded as TDP members shouted anti-YSRCP slogans, decrying what they called a unilateral decision. In a dramatic turn, council floor leader Venkata Satyanarayana recommended suspending TDP corporators Mummineni Prasad and Chennupati Usha Rani under Rule 89 for using party slogans.

Banakacherla 100% illegal, won't back down: Uttam
HYDERABAD: Irrigation Minister N Uttam Kumar Reddy on Friday criticised AP Minister Nara Lokesh for his remarks on the Banakacherla project, calling them 'inappropriate' and accusing him of speaking in favour of the BJP-TDP alliance. 'This is a democratic country. One cannot make sweeping statements just because of being in an alliance with the BJP,' Uttam said. He added that Telangana 'strongly condemns' Lokesh's comments. Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka also weighed in, calling Lokesh's claim 'misleading'. He argued that water was flowing downstream only because Telangana's upstream projects had been left incomplete. He warned that 'conspiracies' in the name of Polavaram and Banakacherla would be exposed, and maintained that truth would prevail.
