TRS chief and Telangana CM KCR in his first term as CM between 2014 and 2018 boasted that he will not seek votes in elections if he fails to complete Mission Bhagiratha project and provide tapped drinking water to each and every household in Telangana.
Though the project was not completed, KCR openly told lies in all the election meetings during 2018 December polls that he had completed 90 per cent of Mission Bhagiratha project and the balance 10 per cent could not be completed as the Assembly was dissolved in September 2018, which is nine months before its tenue and he could have completed remaining 10 per cent works if elections are held as scheduled in April/ May 2018.
Now after coming to power again, KCR is again claiming in all the meetings that he completed Mission Bhagiratha project by 100 per cent and all people in Telangana are enjoying the benefit of Mision Bhagiratha.
Even in the recent Independece Day speech on August 15, KCR claimed of completing Mission Bhagiratha project.
As the saying goes, "you can fool some people some times, all people some times but not all people all the times", KCR's lies have been exposed in the meeting conducted by Centre on "Har Ghar Jal Yojana" (water to every household) in Delhi on Monday.
All the states have been invited for the meeting and asked to submit reports on status of drinking water projects.
The Telangana government submitted a report stating that only 33 per cent of Mission Bhagiratha works are complete.
On the contrary, TS government sought Rs 20,000 crore funds from Centre as they spent Rs 40,000 crore on completing Mission Bhagiratha.
Union water resources minister Shekawat expressed anger at TS how can they claim Rs 20,000 crore when they have completed just 33 per cent works.
He also took a dig at TRS government saying that just laying pipes would not amount to providing water to every household.
TS panchayat raj minister Errabelli Dayakar Rao, who was present in the meeting, was for much embarrassment, when Shekawat took TS goverment to task for telling lies on Mission Bhagiratha.
