The Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy on Wednesday claimed that the government has allocated more funds to his own district Chittoor, only to solve the drinking water problem.
The Chief Minister reacted in the Legislative Assembly when the TRS deputy leader T Harish Rao alleged that the state government had shown discrimination against the Telangana Districts, and the allocation of Rs. 6,000 crores to only Chittoor district was an example for it. Kiran Kumar Reddy said that 250 to 300 bore wells would dry up in Chittoor district in every day during the summer, resulting in severe drinking water problem. The people of the district were thirsting for drinking water. Hence, his government has allocated the funds to the district to solve the problem, he added.
He reminded that Pranahitha-Chevella Irrigation Project was taken up with Rs 38,000 crore estimated expenditure in the Telangana region. Krishna Phase-III Project was also on the progress for providing drinking water to Hyderabad city, he added.
Stating that no one should take the law and order into their hands, Kiran Reddy indirectly suggested that the TRS members should not resort to indiscriminate attacks and irrelevant remarks. (NSS)
