KCR Accuses Telangana CM of Protecting Modi and Naidu, Mobilises Farmers’ Protests

He convened a high-level strategy session at Erravelli to launch field-level agitations defending Telangana’s water rights to protect farmers.

Overview

  • K. Chandrasekhar Rao charged Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy with safeguarding Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s and Andhra Pradesh CM Chandrababu Naidu’s interests over Telangana farmers in a July 29 meeting at his Erravelli estate.
  • He demanded that the proposed Godavari–Banakacherla link project be halted, warning it would erode Telangana’s Krishna River water allocation.
  • Rao criticised the state government for leaving the Kaleshwaram lift irrigation pumps idle, causing reservoirs and ponds to run dry ahead of the Vanakalam sowing season.
  • He highlighted a severe urea shortage during peak paddy planting and condemned both Congress and BJP for trading blame instead of securing fertilizer supplies.
  • Rao instructed BRS cadres and affiliated groups, including BRSV, to organise grassroots protests exposing the government’s alleged failures on irrigation and farm support.
