The Opposition parties in Telangana may be very weak compared to the Opposition in neighbouring Andhra Pradesh, but they are experienced enough to trouble the ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi government.
This was evident from the way Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao lost his cool and attacked the Congress party legislators who exposed the hollowness in the agreements signed by the TRS government with Maharashtra on Pranahita-Chevella project.
He tried to silence the Congress MLAs by launching a counter-attack on them with regard to irrigation projects, but had to admit finally that the agreements signed with the Maharashtra government were not final but only a first step.
He said discussions would continue with the neighbouring State and final agreements would be signed soon.
Well, if the agreements were just first step, why did KCR choose to celebrate it as a very big event? Why were such huge rallies and cut-outs all over Hyderabad describing KCR as “Apara Bhageeratha” as if Godavari water would start flowing from the very next day?
It is better the Chief Minister does not under-estimate Congress leaders like Jeevan Reddy, Geetha Reddy or for that matter Shabbir Ali and Uttam Kumar Reddy. He cannot shout them down every time.
The Congress leaders would get more and more such opportunities to expose the TRS government’s mistakes and they should put up a spirited fight if they want to come back to power!
