BRS Protests Water Release from Jurala Project Amid Government Disputes
The BRS party protested for water release from the Jurala project to aid farmers, accusing the Congress government of withholding water despite sufficient storage.

They also criticized the previous BRS administration for inadequate reservoir construction and highlighted efforts to manage water scarcity amid climatic challenges. BJP leaders urged dialogue with Karnataka to secure additional water for farmers.
