Within 24hours of the ghastly incident at Kaleshwaram project in Rajanna-Siricilla district which left seven workers dead, Minister of irrigation T Harish Rao said that the Telangana government appointed a committee to suggest steps to be taken to prevent incidents like the collapse of a roof of a pump house.
He responded straightaway not just by announcing ex-gratia but also by appointing committee, hardly giving a chance to the opposition parties to disparage.
Opposition parties are trying their best to showdown the ruling party leaders specifically the first family of the state. Congress to an extent was able to project itself as Dalit-friendly using the Nerella incident.
But when similar situation comes up with Harish Rao, he is very well-organized and knows his onions well. Even in the course of land acquisition for Mallanna Sagar project while he was being made scapegoat, the irrigation minister deplored the opposition parties and emerged out of the situation. Harish Rao devises his strategies well and is equipped to deal with anything thrown up against him.
