Slamming Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, the BRS working president KT Rama Rao termed the decision to rename the canteens as ‘shameful’ and ‘ridiculous’. He also promised to change the name back to Annapurna canteens once they come back to power.
The BRS argued that the decision to alter the original blueprint of the project was based on technical and hydrological factors, as the Maharashtra government had objected to a higher Full Reservoir Level (FRL) for the proposed dam.
Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy’s plain speaking on the state finances teetering on the brink of bankruptcy has not gone down well with the Opposition parties, the BJP and BRS. Both parties demanded his resignation for failing to effectively govern the state.
Releasing the final report of the National Dam Safety Authority (NSDA) on the Kaleshwaram project, Telangana Irrigation Minister N Uttam Kumar Reddy said that the agency confirmed the structural collapse of all three barrages of the project.
This included Lagacharla village, where recently the police and local administration were indicted for violating the human rights of landowners unwilling to part with their land.
Currently, the BJP has eight MPs from the state yet the finance minister did not even mention Telangana in her Budget speech.
The BRS reminded the MPs that this Budget will determine the foundation for the next five years of the Modi government.
Political parties that once held power in a state or at the national level sometimes fade away. Once a powerful force, the Bharatiya Rashtra Samithi (BRS) in Telangana is now weakening in politics like many others. BRS MLA A. Gandhi's defection to Congress last week reflects its leader's tactics.
He wondered why the Congress was celebrating even when a large number of eligible beneficiaries were worried and uncertain whether their loans will be waived under the state government’s scheme.
The BJP and Congress shared the spoils equally in Telangana winning eight seats each at the cost of the BRS failing to win a single seat in the state and coming third in 14 of the 17 seats including in Greater Hyderabad where they had won most Assembly seats only six months back.
