KCR Slams Karnataka Deputy CM's Statement On 5-Hour Power Supply
The Telangana CM slammed Karnataka Deputy CM D K Shiva Kumar for claiming that the Karnataka government was providing five-hour power supply to the agricultural sector.
Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao today came down heavily on Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D K Shiva Kumar for claiming that his government in Karnataka was providing five-hour quality power supply to the agricultural sector.
Addressing a public meeting at Kodada in Suryapet district, the Chief Minister derided Shiva Kumar saying that he didn't even have any common sense - how could he claim that the Congress if voted to power would give five-hour power supply to Telangana when the BRS government was already giving 24-hour power to the sector for years now?
He also claimed that the farmers of Karnataka were already facing hardships due to erratic power supply, and that the Congress government there had utterly failed to fulfill its electoral promises.
"The Karnataka people believed in the promises made by the Congress during the election and voted it to power, but within just months the Congress government breached the trust of the people there and has given up on implementing the promises. It has exposed its true colours by cheating the people," KCR said.
He urged the people not to vote for the Congress in the upcoming Assembly elections, and said that a vote for the Congress would spell doom for Telangana.
The Chief Minister also claimed that during the BRS government, Godavari waters were brought to the Kodada area through the construction of the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Project (KLIP) and that the irrigation waters were now being supplied to every nook and corner of the district.
