‘TRS (BRS) will not field candidate in Munugode if Centre announces Rs 18,000 crore for Nalgonda’

Nalgonda: Throwing a challenge to the BJP, Energy Minister G Jagadish Reddy said the TRS (BRS) would not field the candidate in Munugode by-polls if the Narendra Modi government immediately announced Rs 18,000 crore for Nalgonda district.

Along with TRS candidate Kusukuntla Prabhakar Reddy, the Energy Minister was campaigning at Koratikal village of Munugode mandal.

Addressing a public gathering, Jagadish Reddy said a Rs 18,000 crore-contract of coal mining was given to Rajgopal Reddy by the BJP-led Centre to force the by-election to Munugode. He pointed out that the Centre had not extended a single rupee for any project in Telangana including for the Yadadri Thermal Power Plant, Dindi Lift Irrigation Scheme and Mission



Bhagiratha. 

Prime Minister Narendra Modi had not extended any financial assistance for development of the Yadadri temple, which was taken up by the State government with Rs 1,000 crore.

Stating that funds were required for completion of the Dindi Lift Irrigation Scheme, Cherlagudem and other reserviors in Nalgonda, he told the BJP that the TRS candidate would not file his nomination if the Narendra Modi government immediately sanctioned Rs.18,000 crore for Nalgonda district.

“I will convince Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao for the proposal, if the BJP leaders accept this challenge. I am making the challenge in the presence of leaders of the left parties”, he said.
