Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader G. Jagadish Reddy urges the Congress government in Telangana to prioritize the lifting of Nagarjunsagar project gates to save standing crops facing drought conditions. Reddy emphasizes the need for immediate action to provide water for one wetting to prevent further crop withering, criticizing the government’s focus on political maneuvers instead of agricultural concerns.
Accompanied by party members and local officials, Reddy assesses the impact of water scarcity on crops in various villages, highlighting the dire situation facing farmers. He underscores the contrast between previous BRS government actions, which prioritized irrigation, and the current government’s apparent neglect of farmers’ needs. Reddy’s call for action signals a plea to address pressing agricultural challenges amid political distractions.
