TRS hits back at critics of Chandrasekhar Rao's presentation

Hyderabad: The ruling TRS on Saturday hit back at the critics of Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao’s PowerPoint presentation in the Assembly on the status of irrigation projects in the state, saying that the critics were making such statements since they were worried about the fate of their parties.

Irrigation minister T. Harish Rao said that the Congress and TD leaders were worried their parties would be “washed away” once the irrigation projects were completed in TS.

“The Opposition is unable to digest the fact that there has been appreciation from across the country on the CM’s presentation, and is levelling baseless allegations. If they continue with their false statements, the day is not far  when they will lose even the Leader of Opposition status,” Mr Harish Rao said in Medak.

“Congress and TD legislators boycotted KCR’s PowerPoint presentation, but criticised him on TV. They could have done so in Assembly, which was  the ideal forum. They should stop indulging in petty politics and think about public welfare,” he said.

Government Chief Whip Koppula Eshwar too flayed  the Opposition parties for their uncalled for criticism of the PowerPoint presentation.

“Everyone appreciated the presentation which is based on facts and ground reality. Why should the Opposition shy away from debating it in the House? If they have any query, they could have raised it and provided constructive suggestions. Criticism for criticism’s sake will not help them. People are with government,” he said.
