Where's
water, asks Sai Baba
Anantapur, Jan 2:
“Where is the water for new schemes,” was the question posed by
Sai Baba of Puttaparthi when Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhar Reddy
made an appeal to him to provide assistance for some more
drinking water schemes in Anantapur district.
The Chief
Minister and his ministerial colleagues N Raghuveera Reddy and J
C Diwakar Reddy were closetted with Baba on Sunday. Addressing a
public meeting later, YSR clarified that the question was born
out of the letdown he had faced from the erstwhile TD government
which had failed to provide water to the Satya Sai drinking
water project in the district.
“We have assured
Sai Baba that water would be provided to the drinking water
schemes at all costs,” he said. He revealed that Sai Baba’s
intervention was sought for a drinking water scheme that would
cover Hindupur, Madakasira and Penukonda segments. The plea made
to the Sai Baba assumes importance in the wake of the severe
drinking water crisis faced by Madakasira segment, which was
Minister N Raghuveera Reddy’s native constituency.
