His comment on neglect on Telangana draws criticism
Hyderabad, August 17, 2006At the Congress Legislature Party (CLP) meeting held on Thursday, members expressed strong exception on the comments made by Khairatabad MLA P.Janardhana Reddy on issues like Pothireddypadu head regulator and Kokapet land sale. The outburst against the MLA reportedly began soon after the AICC general secretary and in charge of AP Congress Affairs, Digvijay Singh who left the committee hall of the Assembly where the CLP meeting was convened.
The MLA reportedly raised the issue of the project and sale of Kokapet land accusing the Government neglecting Telangana region and acting against the interests of the farmers. He sought to know whether Rs.53,000 crore Jala Yagnam Programme would benefit Telangana at all as the share of the region in Krishna waters was insufficient.
The remarks provoked several MLAs from Andhra, Rayalaseema and Telangana region as to take on him accusing him of harming the party's interests for personal reasons. The PCC president K.Kesavarao advised the CLP members to appreciate the Government's efforts in developing the State instead of leveling baseless charges. The meeting resolved that each Congress MLA would donate Rs.10,000 and Ministers and MPs Rs.20,000 each for flood relief works.
