No benefits to Telangana from Jalayagnam: Palvai

Not a single acre of land was being irrigated with the projects constructed on the Telangana region, alleged Telangana senior Congress leader Palvai Govardhan Reddy.

Talking to media person at CLP office on Monday, Mr Govardhan demanded that the Dummugudem-Sagar Tail-end project, to be constructed on with an estimate of Rs 20,000 crore, be scrapped as it would benefit only Andhra people and not serve any purpose for Telangana region.

He alleged that the former chief minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy government had cheated the people of Telangana farmers in the name of Jalayagnam.

Mr Govardhan Reddy urged Chief Minister K Rosaiah to appoint an Experts team to study the lapses in the implementation of irrigation schemes and plug loopholes.

He said that the government should look into proper utilization of resources as it is public money spending for their welfare and upliftment.
