‘Cong govt conspiring to project Medigadda Barrage as lost’

BRS leader B Vinod has accused the Revanth Reddy Government of conspiring to unleash false narrative that the entire Medigedda barrage is in a dilapidated state though only two or three piers of the total 84 sunk.
The State government is not undertaking repairs to the damaged piers with the intension to project it as if it was unfit for repair. If the barrage got washed away, the water in the barrage run downstream  towards the AP. Vinod alleged that Revanth hatched the conspiracy to benefit his political guru N Chandrababu Naidu, he alleged.
Addressing the BRS leaders and activists of Vemulawada constituency here on Wednesday, Vinod said that bringing Godavari waters, which are at a higher altitude, to the fields became feasible only with Kaleswaram project.
Lifting Godavari waters to a height of 400 meters, the BRS government provided irrigation facility to over one crore acres, he said accusing the Congress of embarking on a vilification campaign on the project. However, the people give no credulence to the words of Congress leaders, he observed.
To demonstrate facts to the people, the BRS is arranging a trip to Kaleswaram project on March 1.
Refuting the allegations levelled by CM Revanth Reddy against BRS supremo KCR and BRS working president KT Rama Rao, he observed that the Congress leaders themselves were heard commenting that the Congress regime is going to be short-lived.  The Congress rank and file would have no faith in the party leaders, he said adding that people were at a loss of comprehension on what the Congress leades would do.
The BRS emerged as a strong opposition in Telangana with 39 MLAs. Therefore, it should prove its mettle in the forthcoming LS elections, he said.  The party position is better with the BRS leadership at the grassroots level. “Let us build the party on a grand scale overcoming the mistakes,” he said.
The BJP and Congress did not have the capacities that the BRS has had, he observed.
The BJP has been suffering from over confidence, while the Congress has low self-esteem, he said. Therefore, the BRS leaders should sweat it out to some extent to help BRS win not only Karimnagar LS seat but also all other seats in Telangana.
