Telangana CM Revanth Reddy urges Chandrababu Naidu to scrap RLIS, allow completion of Telangana irrigation projects; slams K Chandrasekhar Rao for ‘neglecting' Mahabubnagar
HYDERABAD: Chief minister A on Friday said if Andhra Pradesh CM was sincere about equal development of both Telugu states, then he should scrap the Rayalaseema Lift Irrigation Scheme (RLIS) and allow to complete irrigation projects in Palamuru (erstwhile Mahabubnagar district). Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Addressing a public meeting in Kollapur in Nagarkurnool district, Revanth reminded Naidu that some projects in undivided Mahabubnagar district were started when the latter was the CM of united Andhra Pradesh. "Meeru Vignulu (learned person). Come forward and cooperate, allowing Telangana to complete the Palamuru Lift Irrigation Scheme, Dindi, Kalwakurthy, Bima, Nettempadu and Koil Sagar projects. All these projects began either when you (Naidu) were the CM of the undivided state or leader of the opposition," Revanth said. Stop RLIS aimed at taking away 3 TMC water daily. How far is it justified on your part to oppose these projects now? I am requesting the AP CM not to oppose these projects and be responsible. Allow us to live. Let us complete our projects, Revanth said in reference to their meeting convened by the Union Jal Shakti ministry to resolve river issues . Revanth said people of Palamuru never forget favours and would always hold Naidu in high regard if he cooperated. "If Naidu doesn't cooperate, Palamuru biddalu (children) know how to fight and achieve their rights, and Revanth would lead that fight," the CM said. During his over one-hour speech, Revanth mainly targeted former CM K Chandrasekhar Rao for his comments that he ( ) was pained to see people suffering under Congress govt. Listing out the schemes of the Congress govt for women, farmers, youth and others, Revanth asked KCR if he was pained because these sections were reaping the fruits of welfare projects. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Revanth said KCR betryaed the people of Palamuru who stood by him when he had contested from the Mahabubnagar Lok Sabha seat for the cause of Telangana. "KCR did not complete any project in the district. What has KCR done for this district in his nearly 10-year rule?" Revanth asked. He added: "KCR, your pain is going to continue till 2034 as the Congress is going to be in power for 10 years. There is no relief for you. The pain will further engulf you, making you cry more. KCR, whether you are pained, or you jump into the well or immolate yourself or your children resort to it, the Palamuru bidda (Revanth) is going to be the CM for 10 years, and this district will lead the state administration." "My only wish is that you come to the assembly so that we can expose the injustices done by you to this district and you break down in repentance after listening to the good work being done in this prajala palana," Revanth said. The CM said it was his responsibility to complete all the projects in the district and transform it from being a migration-prone area to a model district which rules Telangana. Revanth reiterated that the govt will fill another 40,000 vacancies by June 2026, taking the total recruitments to one lakh in two-and-a-half years of Congress govt. Prior to the public meet, the CM offered prayers at a temple, laid the foundation stone for Young India Integrated Residential School.

BRS questions BJP's silence on encroachment of Bhadradri lands in A.P.
HYDERABAD Working president of Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) K.T. Rama Rao criticised State president of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) N. Ramachander Rao for his silence on the encroachment of 889 acres of Bhadrachalam temple lands in the villages transferred from Telangana to Andhra Pradesh within a month of formation of the State in 2014. He sought to know whether Mr. Ramchander Rao had no time to react to the encroachment of temple lands in A.P. or keeping quiet only to protect political interests in the neighbouring State. Mr. Rama Rao suggested the BJP leader to keep aside the political alliances and protect the temple lands at least by ensuring the implementation of High Court orders. In a statement, the BRS leader sought to know whether Telangana BJP was keeping quiet as the lands were in the confinement of the party alliance partner there or it was part of a plan to hand over Bhadradri as a whole. Engineers Day Meanwhile, Mr. Rama Rao paid rich tributes to Nawab Ali Nawaz Jung, a legendary engineer who designed projects such as Osman Sagar, Himayat Sagar, Nizam Sagar, Dindi, Koil Sagar, Kaddam, Pochampad, Lower Manair as also iconic structures such as Osmania University Arts College, Afzalgunj State Central Library, Osmania Hospital and others on his birth anniversary. Separately, former minister for irrigation T. Harish Rao said Ali Nawaz Jung was among the great engineers such as Sir Arthur Cotton, Mokshagundam Visvesvaraya, K.L. Rao and others. He stated that the BRS government in the past had declared Ali Nawaz Jung's birthday as the Telangana Engineers Day.

Banakacherla Brouhaha… Harish taunts Revanth, says he is a ‘virus of lies'
Hyderabad: Referring to Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy as a 'virus of lies', BRS senior leader T Harish Rao on Wednesday dared the Chief Minister to convene Assembly sessions to discuss the Banakacherla project issue, on condition that microphones and cameras are not disconnected. Addressing a press conference at Telangana Bhavan, Harish Rao launched a salvo at Chief Minister Revanth Reddy and Uttam Kumar Reddy. He alleged that there was a secret deal between Revanth Reddy and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu over the Godavari-Banakacherla project at Pragathi Bhavan. He further alleged that Revanth Reddy betrayed Telangana's water rights to fulfil his political obligations, referring to it as 'guru dakshina'. Harish Rao challenged Revanth Reddy to an open debate in the Assembly, daring him not to cut microphones or turn away cameras. Harish Rao said people expected responsible statements from a Chief Minister, but Revanth Reddy repeatedly misled them, both as an opposition leader and now as Chief Minister. He stated that the BRS was the party that achieved statehood and prioritised the interests of Telangana, and accused Revanth Reddy and his government of diverting from people's issues towards political mudslinging. He questioned why all MLAs were not invited if the PowerPoint presented by Revanth Reddy was truly official. He further questioned whether the presentation was prepared by Telangana officials or Andhra Pradesh officials, as it appeared to favour Andhra Pradesh's interests. Rao challenged Revanth Reddy to publicly show letters or any proof of action taken against Chandrababu Naidu's Banakacherla project. He accused Chandrababu Naidu of historically obstructing Kaleshwaram, Palamuru, Dindi, Tummilla, and Bhakta Ramadasu projects, yet noted that these crucial facts were deliberately omitted from Revanth Reddy's presentation. Rao warned Revanth Reddy that his arrogance would ultimately lead to his downfall. 'Technically, Revanth Reddy is a Congress Chief Minister, but his heart still belongs to the TDP. On 6 July 2024, Chandrababu Naidu was secretly invited to Pragathi Bhavan by Revanth Reddy to finalise the Godavari-Banakacherla deal under the guise of bifurcation promises. On 13 September 2024, Uttam Kumar Reddy and his wife met Chandrababu Naidu in Vijayawada, supported Banakacherla, and returned after enjoying local delicacies,' said Rao. Rao further claimed that on 15 November 2024, Chandrababu Naidu wrote to Union Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, requesting cooperation for the Andhra Pradesh-Godavari-Banakacherla link. Again, on 31 December 2024, Chandrababu Naidu requested Rs 80,000 crore for the Banakacherla project. Revanth Reddy, he alleged, remained silent and acted unaware while Andhra Pradesh planned these conspiracies. He recalled that the BRS was the first to expose Banakacherla publicly on 24 January 2025, challenging the Congress government. He claimed the word 'Banakacharla' never appeared in the Apex Council agenda, which, according to him, exposed Revanth Reddy's lies. He stated that the Banakacherla DPR clearly mentions diverting Krishna waters too. He offered to debate water issues with Uttam Kumar Reddy openly in the Assembly. Finally, he asked Revanth Reddy to change his ways, stop betraying Telangana's water interests, and warned him to avoid making Telangana's betrayal his permanent legacy.
