TRS politicising Polavaram Dam, alleges Somireddy

Hyderabad, May 29 : Former minister and TDP senior leader Somireddy Chandramohan Reddy on Thursday accused the Telangana Rashtra Samithi of politicising the Polavaram Irrigation project.

Speaking to media persons here, Somireddy rubbished the TRS objection for merging a few villages of Khammam district with the Seemandhra region. He claimed that those villages were part of Vijay Nagar kingdom and therefore, they should be part of Seemandhra. He said that the TRS did not object to the merger of those villages in the recent past. However, he said that the TRS started opposing the merger after it came to power in Telangana region.

Somireddy said that such controversies would create enmity among the people of Telangana and Seemandhra and therefore, the TRS should avoid such issues.  INN
