Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president KTR praised agricultural communities across Jogulamba Gadwal district, highlighting how united public demonstrations compelled state authorities to discharge irrigation supplies for drying fields.

Addressing press representatives at Telangana Bhavan, the senior political leader asserted that administrative inaction had threatened thousands of acres of standing crops throughout the Krishna basin command area. KTR lauds farmers for water release after sustained rural agitations forced project engineers to open head regulators despite initial administrative resistance and police deployment around dam sites.

How Did KTR Critique Water Management?

The BRS leader KTR criticized current cabinet ministers for failing to secure timely releases, pointing out that adequate storage volumes existed upstream in Karnataka reservoirs like Almatti and Narayanpur. He noted that state authorities utilized only twenty-eight TMC of available Krishna allocations before public pressure triggered official action.

Rama Rao strongly condemned police detentions and criminal charges filed against protesting farmers and opposition representatives who sought canal water releases to protect regional livelihoods.

The BRS working president reiterated that opposition cadres would remain vigilant across command districts to ensure continuous canal discharges until seasonal harvesting completes. Local agrarian unions expressed appreciation for opposition support, emphasizing that steady tail-end water distribution remains critical for agricultural survival across the entire regional ayacut.
