Senior Congress leader and former minister Mohd Ali Shabbir described Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu as a habitual liar on the power generation and water releases from Krishna basin.
Shabbir told media that Chandrababu Naidu had completely neglected Telangana in power sector during his regime.
It was the Congress Government which started power projects in Bhupalpally, Jurala, Sriramsagar, Kothagudem and Krishnapatnam to benefit the region.
Although the Jurala project was initiated during TDP regime, the then government did not even complete its financial closure.
He reminded that it was the Congress-led UPA Government which granted 54% share in power to Telangana in AP Reorganisation Act itself in view of existence of nearly 20 lakh agricultural pumpsets in the new State.
Shabbir Ali also accused KCR of waking up from the slumber only after Telangana farmers lost their crops.
He also criticised KCR's contention that Telangana will be a power-surplus State after three years.
"The Chief Minister himself should suggest what farmers should do for the next three years. Should they continue to suffer losses and commit suicides while waiting for realization of KCR’s plans? What is the alternate that KCR is proposing to farmers in view of energy crisis?" he asked.
