BRS Escalates Attack Over Godavari Funds, Kamareddy Relief and MSP in Telangana

Congress answers with a booklet alleging BRS-era debt alongside flood neglect ahead of local polls.

Overview

  • T. Harish Rao said the Centre granted ₹100 crore to Andhra Pradesh for the 2027 Godavari Pushkaram but gave no funds to Telangana, calling it discrimination.
  • He alleged the state had not released compensation for KamareddyYellareddy floods despite district assessments of roughly ₹340 crore in losses, and he demanded ₹25,000 per acre and urgent bridge repairs.
  • Pointing to prices since 2014, he highlighted a ₹216 MSP gap favoring wheat (₹2,585) over paddy (₹2,369), challenged Telangana BJP MPs to raise it in Parliament, and vowed a padayatra to revive stalled lift‑irrigation works.
  • BRS showcased new entrants from the BJP at Gandhari, including Telangana movement leader Tanaji Rao and about 150 former sarpanches and MPTCs rejoining the party.
  • Congress pushed back as MLA Madhan Mohan Rao blamed BRS-era neglect for the flooding and cited temporary relief efforts, while leaders released the ‘BRS Ka Dhoka’ booklet; separately, K. T. Rama Rao intensified criticism of the Revanth Reddy government and forecast voter backlash.
