“The thumping victory in Warangal by elections should not make us proud and arrogant instead we should be more humble to people of the state as our responsibility increases with this victory,” said Telangana Chief Minister KCR to his party cadres.

 

But, CLP leader K Janareddy said “CM KCR is speaking very arrogantly after seeing this victory. He is insulting the opposition parties for their defeat in the by elections. Winning or defeat in the elections are very common for any political party. Congress is no exception to this. But, KCR should learn to behave politely and realize that his government’s responsibility increased further with this victory. He should realize that his government has to fulfill the commitments made to the people and have to meet their expectations. It seems CM KCR misunderstood what I said about this verdict.”

 

“However, I am accepting CM KCR’s challenge. If his government could provide irrigation water in Warangal, Khammam and Nalgonda districts for next three years without failing, I am ready to campaign on behalf of TRS party like a TRS worker. I challenge him, if his government could provide irrigation water even after five years or make any international irrigation experts to declare the same, I am ready to campaign for the TRS party and its government like its party worker. But, if he fails to accomplish his commitment then people of the state should vote for our Congress party,” said K Janareddy to media.

 

Janareddy’s challenge is underlining two important points.

 

1. Being former Panchayat Raj minister, he is very sure that these three districts can’t be provided irrigation water in the prevailing situation despite any hard efforts. Otherwise, he will not throw such a challenge to CM KCR. This is also underlining another point that how the Congress party that ruled the united AP state for the last 10 years has ignored and destroyed agriculture in these three districts. In other words Janareddy is saying that even if CM KCR honestly put efforts for providing irrigation water to these three districts, it is highly impossible for next 8 years at least. His challenge to CM KCR is revealing the miserable agriculture situation of these three districts.

 

2. It is not any secret that Janareddy has been inclining towards TRS party ever since his party was defeated in the general elections held last year. So, he may choose this other way to jump into TRS party. Although, he is speaking about making alliance with rival TDP in the next general elections, if this idea works, he may find himself in TRS party by then.
