"Naidu Stopping Water For Nalgonda, Khammam"

Congress senior leader and Nalgonda MLA Komatireddy Venkatreddy on Wednesday alleged that Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu had been trying to stop water supply to the Khammam and Nalgonda districts by stalling the AMR Project.

Speaking to media persons in the Assembly premises, Komatireddy alleged that the AP Chief Minister had been creating several obstacles to stop the supply of irrigation water to the farmers of Khammam and Nalgonda.

He warned that the farmers would stage massive protests against Naidu's move, and exhorted Telangana TDP leaders to convince their party president to restrain from his actions.

He said that the T-TDP leaders should be ashamed of themselves for silently watching the injustice being done to Telangana by Naidu.

Komatireddy also urged Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao to ensure the release of water from Nagarjuna Sagar to the farmers of the Nalgonda and Khammam districts for the Rabi season.

The Nalgonda MLA also alleged that over 100 deaths had been reported from different parts of the state due to swine flu.

Accusing the state government of being negligent, he demanded that all steps be taken at the village level to prevent the spread of swine flu in Telangana. (INN)
