watch that Andhra Pradesh used more Krishna river water than its allocation while Telangana could not even use what was given to it as its share.”he said, “I am giving my word to the people of Telangana. We will complete the Dindi Lift Irrgation Scheme and the Srisailam Left Bank Canal tunnel project in our first term and give water for drinking and irrigation to the former unified Nalgonda district.

Union minister Anurag Singh Thakur on Wednesday said that the Congress has an eye on the property of people which it wants to distribute among minorities for their vote bank.

Addressing the media after participat­ing in a massive road show of the party candidate K. Madhavi Latha, he said, “Rahul Gandhi and Owaisi have studied from Aurangzeb’s University and speak his language. Why did Rahul Gandhi not field a candidate against Owaisi? Is Owaisi Rahul Gandhi's B team or Rahul Gandhi Owaisi's B team?”

“When our Hindu sisters and daughters are brutally killed in the Congress-ruled states, where did his (Rahul Gandhi) quest for justice go? A Congress councillor is demanding a CBI probe into the death of his daughter Neha but injustice is being done to him. Rahul Gandhi is going all over the world pretending to do justice but not ensuring justice to his own people because vote bank politics is important for him. The Congress has only spread hatred in the name of either caste or religion or even language. They talk of breaking the country into north and south,” he said.

Anurag Thakur further asked why Owaisi, who calls has ordered stoppage of release of water to AP from Nagarjunas­agar. “We are the ones who are protecting and fighting to correct the wrongs of the BRS government and protect and increase our share of river water. Every single irrigation woe in Telangana is thanks to KCR,” he said.

On phone tapping, he said, “Unless such an act is executed to protect the country from extremist, terrorist, anti-national activities, it is plainly illegal and is punishable by law. KCR may claim he did not know about it but he cannot escape from the responsibi­lity. What the BRS government did was not just illegal, it was immoral and debased.”
