Telangana Chief Minister and Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) president K Chandrasekhar Rao Sunday in Nanded said that his party would want to bring a qualitative change in the country and the party leaders will make efforts towards it.
Questioning about the water wars between the states being encouraged, KCR asserted that Bharat Rashtra Samithi aims to change water policy and bring in a new mechanism for water supply in the country. Addressing mediapersons at Nanded, the Telangana CM said that if the Centre is honest and it has a will, it can provide irrigation to every inch of farmland. "The water tribunal is lacking in the decision and the union government is a mute spectator," he claimed.
The BRS supremo took a dig at the Centre for trying to privatise the power sector. "India has 361 billion tonnes of coal reserves, we have so many resources despite that we are talking about private players...Adani Power, Ambani power....if the entire power sector will be privatised, then they (companies) will blackmail the govt.
"PM Modi is in power today, he can privatise the power sector as much as he wants but after 2024 it's us who will come into power and we will take it (power sector) back. We will nationalise the power sector, 90 per cent will be kept in the public sector." KCR said as quoted by news agency ANI.
Earlier in the day while addressing a large gathering of people, KCR said that the time for a farmers' government has come. He pointed out that 'Make in India' has become 'Joke in India'.
