Paritala Sriram was handed a crushing defeat by voters as members of his family had resorted to several unlawful activities as Ministers and MLAs, Rapthadu MLA Thopudurthi Prakash said on Tuesday.
“The Paritala chapter is closed now,” Mr. Prakash said at a press conference here on Tuesday. Mr. Sriram, son of Paritala Ravindra and Paritala Sunitha, was taught a lesson by voters in the last elections as his family had amassed a large extent of land in benami transactions, Mr. Prakash alleged.
“The Paritala family never bothered about the people, and they are now trying to level corruption allegations against me, which is surprising,” the MLA said.
Deletion of Puttakanuma reservoir from the scheme objected
Telugu Desam Party Rapthadu Constituency in-charge Paritala Sriram and former Minister Paritala Sunitha have vehemently opposed the deletion of the Puttakanuma reservoir from the original Upper Penna project and adding three other reservoirs in its place.
Ms. Sunitha questioned the rationale behind naming the 56-year-old Upper Penna Project after Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy and took objection to the deletion of former Minister Paritala Ravindra’s name for the Jeedipalli to Upper Penna canal. “Did Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy work for the development of the Upper Penna Project constructed half a century ago?” she asked.
