Meters to farm pumpsets: Komatireddy welcomes CM Jagan’s decision

Hyderabad, September 24: Former MLA and BJP leader Komatireddy Rajgopal Reddy has welcomed the decision of Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy to fix smart meters to farm pumpsets without collecting charges. Rajgopal flayed the TRS government for making unnecessary issue over installing meters to agricultural pumpsets.
 
The BJP leader said that the BJP-led NDA government at Centre has been taking measures to strengthen power sector including Discoms with reforms. He made it clear that the Modi government had never officially asked states to fit meters to pumpsets. 
 
Rajgopal exuded confidence of the BJP victory in Munugode by-election. “TRS leaders are mobilising people to their public meetings by giving money,” he mocked. He said that Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao (KCR) did not announce TRS candidate’s name officially for Munugode bypoll as he is scared of elections. He described by-election as ‘Dharma Yudham’ between the BJP and TRS.
