TRS chief meets prime minister

TRS chief demanded that Pranahita-Chevella irrigation project should be declared a national project. He also wanted the centre to allocate additional electricity from central pool to Telangana for at least three years. KCR also sought adequate gas allocation for gas-based electricity projects in the region.

As the bill passed by parliament last week is still awaiting President Pranab Mukherjee's assent, KCR met him Monday, seeking his early nod.

KCR had called on Congress president Sonia Gandhi Sunday to thank her for passage of Telangana bill.
