Ponnam accuses Harish Rao of cheating Narayankhed voters Hyderabad, Feb 10 (INN): Congress senior leader and former MP Ponam Prabhakar ridiculed the statement of Irrigation Minister T. Harish Rao where he promised to adopt Narayankhed Assembly segment if TRS wins by-elections.
Speaking to media persons at Gandhi Bhavan here on Wednesday, Ponnam said Harish Rao's statement was nothing but a political stunt aimed at cheating the voters. He said that the promise of Rs. 500-600 crore development package for Narayankhed too was misleading. He said despite being the Medak District In-Charge Minister, Harish Rao never visited Narayankhed when Kista Reddy represented the constituency as Congress MLA. However, after Kista Reddy's demise, Harish Rao is trying to lure voters with fake promises just to win the by-elections, he said.
Ponnam said that the TRS Government should release a report on the status of implementation of promises that it made with the people. He said that the Narayanakhed Assembly segment was among the development Assembly constituencies in Telangana due to Kista Reddy.
