Former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, alongwith some Congress leaders of the State, came in for sharp criticism from Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao for ‘mean comments and thoughtless criticism’ of irrigation projects in Telangana State.
Chandrashekhar Rao, speaking at Yedula after visiting some Palamuru Ranga Reddy Lift Irrigation Project (PRLIP) sites, however, made it clear that the TRS government will not be distracted by such criticism and would complete PRLIP as promised to provide irrigation to 15 lakh to 20 lakh acres through the project.
“Chandrababu Naidu has been speaking about irrigation projects and efforts of AP and Telangana to link Godavari and Krishna rivers as something that cannot be done. His words carry a mean streak. The problem is that people like him believe that everyone else is like him and think similarly,” Chandrashekhar Rao said.
