Nailing reports in a section of the media that he was planning to leave the BJP, former minister Nagam Janardhan Reddy today made it clear that he would continue in the saffron party.
Speaking to the media here on Monday, the former minister said the “stories” of his quitting the BJP are baseless and mischievous. He also warned that he would launch an agitation if the TRS government attempts to take over the land belonging to Osmania University.
Criticising the style of functioning of Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao, Nagam said the State government should help the farmers by completing all the pending irrigation projects on war-footing.
Announced that he would launch a protest program from May 21 over inordinate delay of irrigation projects, the BJP leader said he would bring pressure on the TRS government on the issue.
While the irrigation projects were going on expeditiously in the residuary Andhra Pradesh State, the same were going on at a snail’s pace in Telangana State, he lamented. If the TRS government declared affected mandals as drought hit, the Centre would immediately grant funds to meet the needs of farmers in those mandals, he added.
The former minister alleged that the ministers in the KCR government were resorting to corrupt practices and remained as processional deities.
The Chief Minister was personally clearing even petty works worth Rs 100 and not giving any financial powers to his colleagues, he added.
