Politics: Zero development in one and a half year rule: Jagdish

Jagdish Reddy criticized the Congress government

Nalgonda. Terming the one and a half year rule of Congress in the state as a period of zero development, former minister and BRS MLA G. Jagadish Reddy launched a scathing attack on the Revanth Reddy government and said that the government was spending all its time in filing false cases against political opponents from opposition parties to silence them. Addressing a press conference, he lashed out at the administration for demolishing the house of municipal chairman in Chundur due to political vendetta .

No new road was constructed during the tenure

The former minister criticised the Congress for failing to launch at least a single new project in Nalgonda and accused the district ministers of rebranding the schemes launched by BRS by putting up new boards. He hit out at minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy, saying no new roads were constructed during his tenure and accused the Komatireddy brothers of taking credit for BRS projects, including the construction of the camp office of Munugodu MLA.

The agriculture sector was completely ignored

Reddy also criticised the Congress government for its handling of the agriculture sector and said it has been completely ignored. Comparing it with the BRS regime, he said that during the BRS regime, Nalgonda was elevated to the top through regular reviews on the supply of fertilisers and seeds. The Congress government has failed to stop the influx of fake seeds. He said that Congress MLAs have also expressed disappointment in the review meetings and questioned the government's approach. He said only ministers speak in the reviews while elected representatives are sidelined.

Allegations of lack of knowledge

Targeting Minister Uttam Kumar Reddy, Jagadish Reddy accused him of lack of knowledge about irrigation and civil supplies and alleged that water from both Krishna and Godavari rivers was being handed over to Andhra Pradesh. He claimed that the Congress government was more focused on criticising BRS chief K Chandrasekhar Rao than protecting the interests of Telangana.
