Kavitha slams Oppn parties for politicizing even rainfall

Hyderabad, Sept.28: Nizamabad MP and Telangana Jagruthi president K Kavitha has said the traditional Bathukamma festival celebrations would be conducted from September 30. Launching Jagruthi App here at Telangana Bhavan on Wednesday, Kavitha called upon women to celebrate Bathukamma festival on a grand scale because the State was blessed with copious rainfall this year. She exhorted Telangana daughters to participate in Bathukamma festival and spread Telangana culture to the world. Stating that the State received record rainfall this year, Kavitha lashed out at the Opposition parties for politicizing the Mid-Maner dam breach. Condemning the Congress party for politicizing even rains too, Kavitha reminded that though then government proposed Mid-Maner reservoir in 1992, it called for tenders in 2006. Asking who were in power from 2006 to 2014, Kavitha said the TRS government completed major works in the last two years. “Loss was common whenever and wherever there were heavy rains. In stead of lending helping hand to the people irrespective of their political affiliations, some jealous political parties were politicizing even rains unashamedly”, she said, adding that the TRS government was extending all possible assistance to the rain affected farmers.
