Senior Congress leader and former minister Ponnala Lakshmaiah advised the Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao to stop fooling people of the State.

One cannot fool all the people all the time as Abraham Lincoln said and Mr. Rao should know the truth, he said.

“The claims made on the eve of Independence Day by the chief minister were nothing but a bundle of lies. Be it jobs, irrigation water or whatever. The latest claim is renaming the Police Academy. Being a Chief Minister he is not aware that it was renamed long ago,” Mr Ponnala pointed out.

The TRS and KCR successfully whipped up the sentiments of people on separate Telangana. But now the Chief Minister is clueless about the governance and his promises. There was no governance in the state and he failed to show how different he is from the earlier regimes. It was time to stop blaming the past regimes and start working as there was not much time left for the next general elections. The TRS party already lost precious three years of time blaming the earlier governments while trying to hide its failures.

“Can anyone find sanity in redesigning of irrigation projects? The Kanthanpalli was shelved and Tupakulagudem barrage is being taken up. But instead of tapping 21 tmc of water from proposed Kanthanpalli, now the State government taps only 9.5 tmc with proposed Tupakulagudem barrage,” Mr Ponnala Lakshmaiah pointed out.

“For TRS the power is new but Congress has been in and out of power. We are not desperate for power. Our party is with people and for people always,” Mr Lakshmaiah said.
