BJP for all party delegation to Karnataka on water

HYDERABAD: The state unit of BJP has asked the government to lead an all party delegation to Karnataka to convince the neighbouring state to release 50 tmcft of water to the state to tide over the prevailing drought.
Addressing a press conference on Thursday, party state unit President N Indrasena Reddy said that there was little irrigated water available in three regions of the state as most of the standing crops had already been withered away.Only three lakh acres were irrigated under the Krishna delta out of the total 13 lakh acres, he said.
Criticising the Left parties, Reddy wondered as to how the Communist parties could blame BJP on Hyderabad liberation day celebrations. He alleged that the Communists had continued their armed struggle till 1951 even after attaining independence. The city had been liberated from Nizam''s rule on September 17, 1948.
Reddy alleged that the left parties had distorted the history to suit their interests. He claimed that the party received good response from the public at various places during the liberation day celebrations in the Telangana region.
Party state Vice-President S V Seshagiri Rao and General Secretary K Laxman also present.
