The state's leaders, including the Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister, are meeting with all the state's MPs in Delhi.
They want to ask the central government for help in managing the drought.
They have already sent letters to important ministers but haven't received a response yet.
The meeting will discuss how the MPs can help get the necessary approvals from the central government.
