Uttam Flays TRS Govt on Ellamapally Project Issue

Hyderabad, Sept.30: Stating that the Ellampally project was like a heart to the North-Telangana region, TPCC Chief N Uttam Kumar Reddy said that the Congress government had completed the project almost with foresight by spending Rs.2300crore. But the TRS government was not completing the project by spending Rs.400 crore, thinking that the Congress may get the credit of the project. In a chat with the reporters at Gandhi Bhavan here on Friday, Uttam alleged that the TRS government kept the Ellampally project aside and spent crores of rupees in the name of Kaleswaram project. The TRS government was adopting a negative attitude towards pending projects taken up by the Congress government, and hence the Congress party decided to visit them. The TRS government failed to fulfill the assurances, particularly loan waiver scheme made to farmers during the elections; he alleged saying that the government failed to deposit the second phase loan waiver amount in the bank accounts of farmers. He stated that the TPCC would appoint PCC joint secretaries and secretaries within four, five days. He said that the committee would be appointed along with PCC vice-presidents T Nagaiah, Mallu Ravi and Kumar Rao and general secretaries Mahesh Kumar Goud and Premlal. He said that he would take the proposals of the leaders into consideration and take the final decision in this regard. He said that about 40 secretaries would be appointed for the TPCC.
