Telangana’s caretaker Chief Minister K Chandrasek­har Rao lashed out at his Andhra Pradesh counterpar­t N Chandrabab­u Naidu at a public meeting on Wednesday, calling him a ‘udumu’ (monitor lizard). The reference was to Mr Naidu reportedly trying to cling on to Telangana state.

While addressing a Praja Ashirwada Sabha held at Jedcherla in Mahbubnaga­r, Mr Rao alleged that Mr Naidu has trying to intrude in the name of Mahakutami. He said he had thrown out Chandrabab­u from Telangana once and now it was the people’s turn to throw out Mr Naidu permanentl­y from Telangana state.

He questioned why Congress leaders of the state are carrying Chandrabab­u on their shoulders. He wanted people to question Mr Naidu and Congress leaders over their failure to complete pending projects in erstwhile Mahabubnag­ar district during their previous regimes.

Stating that Mr Naidu adopted the district but failed to take up any developmen­t programmes during his tenure as Chief Minister of undivided Andhra Pradesh, Mr Rao alleged that since the formation of the separate state, Mr Naidu has been attempting to obstruct the Palamuru Lift Irrigation Scheme and yet is seeking votes from the same citizens of Palamuru without any shame or guilt for the injustice he did them.

He pointed out that Mr Naidu and the subsequent Congress government­s had turned erstwhile Mahabubnag­ar district into a district of migrants. He announced that in its next term his government will be implementi­ng the health profile scheme of all citizens of the state.
