Dear Madhu garu, Two good statements- one on 2nd SRC and other on Sai Baba. Looks all are ganging up to stop Telangana. It is quite surprising for Sai baba to make such statement. Some one should tell him to at least come out of his Rayalaseema mentality. He is not able to differentiate between country and states.

Yaskhi questions locus standi of TRCCC

HYDERABAD: Congress MP from Nizamabad Madhu Yaskhi has said that the Telangana Regional Congress Coordination Committee (TRCCC) was the not the real representative of the party in Telangana.

Peeved at not being invited for Saturday’s meeting, he told The Hindu that the TRCCC had become `defunct’. “The TRCCC, which claims to represent the interests of the leaders and people of Telangana, has become inactive. How can party MPs from the region be kept away from the meeting when MLAs are automatically members of the Congress Legislature Party and the AICC. “Is the TRCCC a much bigger organisation that the AICC or the CLP?” he asked.Mr. Yaskhi questioned the use of the meeting when leaders, who raised relevant issues, were absent. The party high command had been advising leaders to refrain from openly airing their views and to speak only in party meetings.

Pothireddypadu issue

Meanwhile, the TRCCC meeting on Saturday witnessed heated arguments for a brief while when Congress legislator P. Janardhan Reddy raised the issue of Pothireddypadu head regulator claiming that it would adversely impact the people of Telangana. Mr. Reddy reportedly expressed concern over the moves to release water through Pothireddypadu once the reservoir level reaches 841 ft.

Babli project: work on at feverish pace, says MP

Maharashtra violating CWC directive: Madhu Yashki Goud

• Nizamabad MP meets Chief Minister after visiting the project site
   

• Shows YSR photographs of ongoing works at Babli project site
   

• Seeks support of MLAs from Karimnagar, Warangal and Khammam

HYDERABAD: Notwithstanding the assurance given by Maharashtra Chief Minister, Vilasrao Deshmukh to Chief Minister Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy in New Delhi to stop works on the Babli project across Godavari, construction activity continues at a brisk pace.

Nizamabad MP, Madhu Yashki Goud, who visited the project site on Thursday, met the Chief Minister on Thursday and showed him photographs of the ongoing activity being carried out in violation of the Central Water Commission’s (CWC) directive to stop all work.

He said the barrage would adversely affect inflows into Sriramsagar reservoir that irrigates Nizamabad, Karimnagar, Warangal and Adilabad districts.

Mr. Goud told The Hindu that MPs from Andhra Pradesh would raise the issue in Parliament. “It is unfortunate that the Maharashtra Chief Minister has failed to keep his promise. Mr. Deshmukh should have waited till March 30, when the two leaders are to meet Union Water Resources Minister Saifuddin Soz. Babli project will spell the doom for Sriramsagar,” he said.

He later met MLAs from Karimnagar, Warangal and Khammam and sought their cooperation in stalling the work on Babli. He produced a letter written by the CWC to Maharashtra Chief Secretary, which said that construction of Babli project in the submergence area of Sriramsagar project without due mutual agreement was violative of the inter-State agreement.
