TRS leaders milking irrigation projects: CPI's Tammineni Veerabhadram
State secretary of CPI Tammineni Veerabhadram on Sunday alleged that irrigation projects taken up in the State were filling the pockets of ruling party leaders, officials and contractors

He contended that KCR opting for early elections was an indication of the pink party’s collapse. The CPM leader predicted that no party would get more than 60 seats in the ensuing elections and that none would be able to form government.
Among those present were BLF Quthbullapur convener Lakshman, D G Narsing Rao, Kalidindi Sambasiva Rao,district secretary Satyam, Medchal constituency in-charge M V Ramana, BLF State leader Ashayya, former Lok Satta leader Varma, AIDWA district president Vinoda.
