Congress MLC urges Vinod to focus on State interests

Hyderabad: Congress MLC T Jeevan Reddy on Thursday urged the newly appointed vice-chairman of Telangana State Planning Commission B Vinod Kumar to focus on the interests of the State.

Addressing media, Jeevan Reddy objected to the statement of Vinod Kumar that the tour of Congress leaders to the Tummidihatti project was improper and was misleading the people.

He also said the statement of Vinod Kumar that the State government had urged the Centre to grant national project status to Kaleshwaram was not correct.

The MLC said that the Union Water Resources Minister made it clear that the Telangana government never urged the Centre for national status to the Kaleswaram project.

He dared the TRS leader to move a privilege motion against the Union minister if his statement was wrong. He asked the State government for how many days it would mislead the people in the State.
