Hyderabad, Jan 25 (Hydnow): Exuding confidence that the Congress would be able to garner at least 13 of the 17 Lok Sabha constituencies in Telangana in the coming Parliament elections, the Minister for Irrigation and Civil Supplies, Uttam Kumar Reddy said that the main contests will be between Congress and the BJP and the BRS would not be in the reckoning (difficult to open the account), the BRS theory that it would bounce back in the Parliamentary polls was a bit far fetched.
As the Minister in-charge of Karimnagar, he had a review with elected representatives from the district at his Secretariat chambers. Minster Ponnam Prabhakar was among those who took part in the review.
Speaking on the occasion, he said the vigilance report on the sagging of medigadda barrage pillars was expected to be ready by the time the next session of the Assembly was convened. Even the Preliminary inquiry was yet to be received by him. He said that the probe into the alleged irregularities in the construction of the barrages of the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation scheme was in progress.
The Budget session of the State Legislative Assembly would be convened soon. He said the schedule of the session would be announced shortly. (Hydnow)
