I will take over as CM of Telangana: Harish Rao

Hyderabad: Former minister and BRS party MLA T. Harish Rao today urged the government to take up the restoration work of the Kaleswaram project and provide irrigation water to the farmers so that they do not suffer any loss.

He alleged that the government was not taking care of it.  He said he was ready to take over as CM of the State if CM Revanth Reddy was not able to solve the problem in Kaleswaram project.

“Even though there is a possibility of lifting water, those steps are not being taken. If they can’t, Revanth should resign. I will take oath as CM and solve the problem,” Harish Rao said.

Speaking to mediapersons at Telangana Bhavan, Harish Rao said under the Congress regime, 94 lakh metric tonnes of paddy had been cultivated and three crore metric tonnes of paddy had been harvested under BRS party’s rule.

It was not achieved by doing any magic. “Our government has got a good name after the record amount of harvest. The Congress party leaders are trying to damage our good image by making baseless allegations.

In some way or the other, they are bringing us a bad name and creating doubts among the people. But the truth is known on the ground. Since we have filled up the reservoirs, there is no problem with the water going to the Rabi season,” Harish Rao said.

Stating that there is still a possibility of lifting water, he said irrigation Engineers were saying the same thing. “If they can’t, hand over the government to us. We will do it. Revanth Reddy should resign. I’ll take oath as the CM and do it. Let’s get rid of Revanth,” he added.

Lambasting CM Revanth Reddy for his filthy language, Harish Rao asked the CM as to how he would use abusive and foul language against them? “People will decide who will be the Chief Minister for how many years. We are telling you to implement the promises made to the people. If you do well, you will be supported.. Otherwise, you will hit the rock,” he warned. (NSS)
