YSRCP Leader Alleges Andhra Pradesh Government's Delayed Response to Drought
YSR Congress leader Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has accused Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu of negligence in handling the state's drought, alleging failure to act despite early warnings of El Niño effects. Jagan highlighted significant crop losses and criticized the government for not declaring drought-affected areas or providing adequate relief measures. The government reportedly prioritized power generation over irrigation water release. The drought has severely impacted cultivation, with many mandals facing deficient rainfall and farmers suffering financial losses.
