BJP MLA Alleti Maheshwar Reddy on Saturday alleged corruption in the execution of the central government’s drinking water scheme in Telangana and said a big scam has happened and questioned Chief Minister Revanth Reddy in this regard.
“The fund of Rs 3,500 crore was given to our state under the drinking water scheme. There is a big scam that has happened,” said the BJP MLA.
Lashing out at the Chief Minister, he pointed out why he was attempting to give crores of tenders in private and questioned his intention behind doing so.
“I want to ask the Chief Minister why you are attempting to secretly give tenders to certain people. Today we have posed a challenge to all the conspiracy behind this. Congress and Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) are old friends. They have tried killing democracy. What they are doing is undemocratic,” said the BJP MLA.
Earlier on Thursday, Union Minister G Kishan Reddy attacked the BRS, which ruled the state till last year, and the ruling Congress party, alleging that both are the same and their party leaders keep jumping ship from one another whenever the other party comes to power.
He further said that BJP is with neither with BRS nor with the Congress and is instead with the people.
Reddy pointed out that BRS and Congress are one. They have also made alliances earlier. We saw leaders jumping from Congress to BRS earlier. Now we see vice versa. Congress is acting now, just like BRS acted while they were in power. Whoever wins in BRS joins Congress and whoever wins in Congress joins BRS. There is no difference between Gandhi Bhavan and Telangana Bhavan. Both parties support family rule.
Reddy further alleged that the Congress government is “looting” people in the state today just like the BRS used to “loot” during its tenure.
