Hyderabad: Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka blamed the previous government for losing seven mandals to Andhra Pradesh. He questioned why the leaders of the pink party are demanding to get back the area. Bhatti criticized the media campaign by the previous government, which portrayed the meeting between the Chief Ministers of both Telugu states as a friendly relationship.
Bhatti expressed his concerns about complaints that more than 1,150 hamlets in the state were not receiving even 50% of the promised drinking water supply through the Mission Bhagiratha scheme. Despite spending over Rs 40,000 crore on the project, many areas are still facing water scarcity.
The Minister mentioned that the previous government had claimed to provide drinking water to 24,000 villages through Mission Bhagiratha. They had even reported to the Central government that there was no shortage of drinking water in any village.
