Finance and Health Minister T. Harish Rao said that Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao had made the impossible possible by bringing Godavari water from Kaleshwaram to Siddipet district and providing irrigation to lakhs of acres of dry lands.
Addressing a gathering after releasing water from Mallannasagar to Gandi Cheruvu in Yadadri Bhongir district and from Kondapochamma canal to Kudavellivagu on Saturday along with Lok Sabha member K. Prabhakar Reddy and others at Kodakandla in Gajwel mandal, Mr. Harish Rao said that in the past farmers used to stare at sky for rain whereas now soon after asking, Mr. Chandrasekhar Rao was releasing water.
“In the middle of summer, we are releasing water to Kudavellivagu and package 16. In the last summer also we had released water to Kudavellivagu and saved crops on about 40,000 acres in Dubbak constituency alone. Leaders of the opposition can check with farmers if they dare to know the facts. Could it be possible had we not completed Kaleshwaram project?” asked Mr. Harish Rao informing that the water released to Haldivagu would travel 96 km and reach Nizamsagar and improve the groundwater table in Wargal mandal.
