Naidu spreading lies over Krishna waters: YSRCP

YSR Congress has criticised TDP leader N Chandrababu Naidu for spreading dark lies in Delhi about the irrigation projects and sharing of Krishna waters by the State.

“It was during Naidu’s term as chief minister that the neighbouring Karnataka has increased the height of Almatti dam and he remained a mute spectator while YS Rajasekhar Reddy has initiated many irrigation projects after coming to power in 2004,” party spokesperson Vasireddy Padma told reporters here on Wednesday.

Even on the auspicious occasion of Gandhi Jayanthi, Naidu did not forget his habit of spreading false propaganda. Karnantaka has built or upgraded many irrigation projects while he was the chief minister and irrigation was never his priority.

It was YSR who took up Jalayagnam in a big way to provide irrigation and drinking water to the parched areas. Naidu on the other hand, did not respond properly even as the Bachawat Tribunal Award was being breached by the upper riparian states, she said. The media has vastly published reports in 2003 on the inefficiency of Naidu government in stalling the projects in Karnataka as the flow of Krishna waters to the state would be hampered.

Naidu now charging YSR with ignoring irrigation sector is ridiculous as it is a known fact that YSR was pro-farmer and his policies and priorities speak of his affinity towards farmers, she said.

The TDP leader is scared of our party president YS Jagan Mohan Reddy and has been levelling baseless allegations on the bail. “Our Party President has made it very clear that the bail was given on merits and after the completion of investigation by deadline set to CBI by the apex court.”

The TDP leader’s remarks of bail and deal amount to contempt of court and shows that he does not believe in judiciary.

Naidu still harping on the same allegations shows that he is scared of our Party as he did not win a single election after our YS Jagan Mohan Reddy started the Party. “Our success rate is stupendous and Naidu’s popularity graph has plunged southward. His words and deeds are out of frustration and he is unable to come anywhere close to YS Jagan Mohan Reddy in the people’s court.”

His oft repeated remark that YSRCP will merge with Congress has no takers. We are the challengers and Naidu’s is not in the frame. It was Naidu who has a deal with Congress on many occasions to save his skin from the various charges he is facing, she said.
