Speedy repair of Sunkesula dam will save crops: Chandrababu

Hyderabad: Telugu Desam Party (TDP) president N Chandrababu Naidu on Monday urged that repair works of Sunkesula dam on river Tungabhadra be begun immediately to save standing crop in over 2.5 lakh acres and ensure drinking water supply to over 300 habitations.



In a letter to Chief Minister K Rosaiah, the Leader of Opposition said repair and restoration works on the dam were yet to commence after the recent floods left the structure badly damaged.

"The delay in beginning the works is due to the protest by villagers of Sunkesula and Rajoli who are not allowing the works to be taken up till their demands are met. But, Sunkesula is the source of drinking water for over 300 habitations in the region while more than 2.5 lakh acres of crop under the KC Canal irrigation system is also dependent on this water. Unless the works are completed on a war-footing, more than Rs 500 crore worth crops will be lost," Chandrababu said.

"I, therefore, request you to direct the authorities concerned to commence the Sunkesula works immediately by amicably sorting out problems of the affected people," the TDP chief requested the Chief Minister.

TDP to get into action mode

HYDERABAD: The newly-constituted state executive of the TDP which met here on Wednesday, has decided to put the party in action mode by deciding

to pin down ministers for their failures, but spare chief minister K Rosaiah for the time being.

The party which was lying low ever since the death of former chief minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy has now decided to take on the government for its omissions and commissions.

The party and its president N Chandrababu Naidu have been adopting a soft stance towards Rosaiah, and on several occasions in the past two months, both Naidu and Rosaiah have shared the same platform. The party, it seems, wants to continue the same stand for some more time, that being one of the reasons for supporting the government's decision to file a review petition in Supreme Court on its decision to declare Hyderabad as free zone for administrative purposes.

The state executive also called upon the rank and file to gear up for the ensuing GHMC polls as a notification in this regard is expected soon. But the internal bickerings in the party came to fore on this issue since T Srinivas Yadav and former deputy speaker K Harishwar Reddy who was hoping to be inducted into the politburo kept out of the meeting. Harishwar Reddy has been made as one of the vice-presidents. He was also opposed to readmitting T Devender Goud who had quit the party before polls and joined PRP.

Later briefing the media, politburo member K Yerranaidu said that the executive was of the opinion that all the advisors in YSR's government should quit and give a free hand to Rosaiah to constitute his own team.

Referring to reports of possibility of a conspiracy behind YSR's death in chopper crash, the party demanded a full-fledged inquiry and said that pending inquiry the chairman of advisory committee on public security K V P Ramachandra Rao should resign. If the DGP can be removed for negligence in duty why not the advisor, he said. The party also condemned the government's move to issue a GO fixing creamy layer for the backward classes and demanded it to take back the decision.

Take over Babhali, TDP urges Centre

The Telugu Desam party (TDP) has demanded that the Babhali irrigation project in Maharashtra should be taken over by the Central Government to protect the interests of the farmers of Andhra Pradesh. Speaking to reporters here today, party MLA E Dayakar Rao said that the Maharashtra Government had erected crest gates to the dam on the Godavari yesterday and released photographs to to prove his charge.

He alleged that though the Telugu Desam had been making a hue and cry over the construction of Babhali across Godavari river by the Maharashtra Government, the Congress Government in the State had turned a deaf ear to it and remained unconcerned.

“The construction of Babhali was taken up by a contracting firm whose owner is very close to Chief Minister YS Rajasekhara Reddy. Though the chief minister has been aware of the illegal construction, he kept quiet all these years,’’ the Opposition legislator alleged.

Rao asserted that the construction of Babhali project was began only after the Congress came to power in the State in 2004. The chief minister was shedding crocodile tears after the Maharashtra Government completed the construction of the project, Dayakar Rao alleged.

When TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu petitioned the prime minister and the President over Babhali, the Union minister for water resources wanted both the governments of Maharashtra and Andhra Pradehs to sort out the dispute amicably. But no meeting was arranged between these two States, Dayakar Rao alleged.

The TDP MLA demanded that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh should intervene at least now and see that Andhra Pradesh’s interests were protected.

Dayakar Rao said that the construction of Babhali was detrimental to the interests of farmers in six districts of the Telangana region.

However, the Congress leaders tried to hoodwink the people of Telangana by saying that Maharashtra was constructing check-dams for drinking water use and there would be no harm to the Telangana region, Dayakar Rao charged.
