Members of Telangana Rashtra Samithi, Congress and All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen have alleged that the BJP-led Government at the Centre has failed to keep many assurances and promises made to Telangana in the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act even eight years after formation of the State.
Speaking as part of a short discussion on “failure of central government in implementing assurance given under the AP Reorganisation Act” in the Assembly on Tuesday, Jaffar Hussain (AIMIM), P. Sudarshan Reddy (TRS) and M. Bhatti Vikramarka (Congress) alleged that the Centre was doing grave injustice to Telangana as it had not kept promises such as Bayyaram steel plant, Kazipet railway coach factory, tribal university and several others. However, M. Raghunandan Rao of BJP blamed the Congress and the TRS for the same.
Mr. Sudarshan Reddy alleged that the Centre was trying to boss over the water resources by establishing two river boards without finalising the water shares of Telangana. It was also sitting over the clearances sought for several Godavari Basin projects by Telangana. Instead it was planning to divert water to Cauvery Basin without clearing the projects within the basin if there was abundant water.
