Jagga Reddy criticized BRS MLA Harish Rao's claims about drinking water provision in Telangana, asserting that Congress governments initiated major water projects like Manjeera and Singur. Reddy accused the BRS of reviving regional sentiments and failing to address irrigation project backlogs during their decade in power. He defended Chief Minister Revanth Reddy's interactions with Andhra Pradesh's Chief Minister, drawing parallels to past meetings by BRS leaders.
