Minister for Agriculture S. Niranjan Reddy has criticised State leaders of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Bandi Sanjay and G. Kishan Reddy for speaking lies at the abode of goddess Jogulamba and stop hoodwinking people as part of their padayatra.
Mr. Niranjan Reddy sought to know from Mr. Sanjay whether it was not a fact that Narendra Modi asked the State Government to take up Palamuru-Rangareddy project during his 2014 election rally at Mahabubnagar and that it is taken up by Telangana Government on its own. He wanted Mr. Sanjay and other BJP leaders of the State whether they had ever asked national project status to Palamuru-Rangareddy.
In addition, the BJP leaders were silent even as injustice was being done to combined Mahabubnagar (Palamuru) district including Nadigadda (Gadwal) area with the Centre according national project status to Upper Bhadra in Karnataka, which would have direct impact on Mahabubnagar first, Mr. Niranjan Reddy alleged.
