Harish Rao Slams Govt. Over Floodwater, Irrigation Concerns
Harish Rao, a former minister, is upset because he believes the current government is wasting water meant for farmers.
He says they aren't using the motors at the Kaleshwaram project, causing water to go to waste instead of irrigating fields.
Rao thinks the government is letting this happen on purpose and wants them to turn on the motors.
If they don't, he's planning to get farmers involved to solve the problem themselves.
Former Minister Harish Rao criticized the government for not using floodwaters.
He accused the Congress government of allowing water to flow into the sea.
Rao stated reservoirs hold less water due to the government's decisions.
He urged the government to run motors to supply water for irrigation.
Rao warned the BRS would mobilize farmers to operate the motors if the government does not act.
