Jagadish Reddy Accuses Congress Government of Creating Artificial Drought

Jagadish Reddy Accuses Congress Government of Creating Artificial Drought

Jagadish Reddy, a BRS leader, said Telangana was facing a drought caused by government decisions.

He blamed the Congress government for not helping farmers enough.

He said large amounts of Godavari water had flowed into the sea instead of being used.

He also accused the government of diverting Krishna water unfairly.

Farmers were being told to grow crops that need less time, but Jagadish said officials had not explained how much water would be available.

He said the government was creating problems involving seeds, fertilisers, electricity and bonuses.

The BRS is planning protests about these issues.

The government’s response to these accusations was not included in the report.
