Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao today reiterated that the TRS would not seek votes in 2019 elections if his government failed to provide safe drinking water to every house-hold.
Lashing out at previous Congress regime for failing to supply water, the Chief Minister said the TRS would not ask for votes in the next general elections if it failed to supply safe drinking water to every household in the districts. “We are committed to implement Water Grid program to serve the purpose”, he stated.
Addressing the TRS party plenary at LB Stadium here on Friday, KCR flayed his AP counterpart N Chandrababu Naidu for claiming that previous TDP government had alone developed Hyderabad. “It is shame on part of such leaders, who often come in the way of Telangana development and brag they had alone developed Telangana”, he alleged, adding that the AP Government was continuously creating hurdles with regard to power and water. Yet, the TRS government succeeded in tiding over the power crisis, he declared.
The Chief Minister claimed that 43 per cent fitment was announced for the State government employees despite there will be a burden of Rs 6,500 crore to the State exchequer. Besides, the government spent Rs 17,000 crore on crop loan waiver to help 34 lakh farmers in the State and another Rs 4,80 crore towards input subsidy. Stating that advocates and working journalists too played a key role in the statehood movement, KCR said the government earmarked huge funds for their welfare. He also said the Telangana Government will launch within 10 days a power plant at the abode of Lord Lakshmi Narsimha Swamy temple at Yadadri.
The Chief Minister said Palamur people will get safe drinking water through the Krishna River. He also said Metro Railway lines are being extended to cater to future needs of the people in the twin cities. “To empower rural people, every year we will restore 9,000 lakes and water bodies and the works are going on under mission mode with active participation of the people and leaders alike, he stated.
Promising to provide uninterrupted power supply to industries and companies, KCR said the yet to be launched new industrial policy will prove handy for them to rope in with huge investments and offer employment to local talent. Since the separate statehood movement was meant for jobs, resources and waters, the TRS Government will accord priority to them and live up to the peoples’ expectations, KCR stated. (NSS)
