The Rayalaseema Intellectuals Forum has urged the Andhra Pradesh government to respond to Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy's statements concerning the Rayalaseema Lift Irrigation Project. The forum deems Reddy's claims on the project's suspension objectionable and an attack on Rayalaseema's water rights. They assert the project is essential for the drought-prone region, citing sanctioned allocations and the need to lift water from upstream due to hydrological changes. The forum also objects to Telangana's arguments on revisiting Krishna water allocations.
