Hyderabad: BJP MP M. Raghunandan Rao on Sunday asserted that BJP Telangana power was inevitable within the next two years, claiming that justice to the Palamuru region was possible only under a BJP government.
Addressing a meeting of key BJP constituency leaders at the IB Guest House in Patancheru of Sangareddy district, he said Assembly debates must focus on public issues rather than personal allegations. He advised leaders of both the ruling Congress and the opposition BRS to engage in issue-based discussions.
The meeting was attended by BJP MLC Anji Reddy, district BJP president Godavari, and senior party leaders from the region. The discussion focused on governance, regional neglect, and legislative conduct.
Raghunandan Rao criticised both Congress and BRS for avoiding debate on Palamuru and Krishna river water issues in the Assembly. He alleged that instead of policy discussions, the House had witnessed only mutual accusations.
He said the BRS failed Palamuru during its ten-year rule, while the Congress had also done no justice during its two-year tenure. He described Palamuru as a region marked by large-scale migration due to lack of development.

The MP said expectations rose because Chief Minister Revanth Reddy hailed from Palamuru. However, he claimed people were disappointed by the lack of relief to the region. He alleged that both Congress and BRS lacked a clear development vision.
Raghunandan Rao said the BJP was implementing a nationwide river interlinking programme. According to him, the initiative aimed to provide water to every field and employment to every hand.
He accused Congress and BRS leaders in Telangana of prioritising alleged corruption battles over governance. Moreover, he alleged that contradictory PowerPoint presentations by ministers and opposition leaders had confused the public.
He said there was no difference between the earlier BRS government and the present Congress government on Krishna water sharing and the Palamuru project. He also questioned the absence of nearly 20 MLAs during the Assembly discussion on these critical issues.
