BRS and Congress Clash Over Water Crisis Management in Telangana
BRS leader KT Rama Rao criticized the Congress-led Telangana government for the state's water crisis, alleging administrative failures caused drought-like conditions by releasing large volumes of Godavari and Krishna river water downstream. He accused the government of underutilizing irrigation projects and ignoring early El Niño warnings. The Congress government, represented by Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, countered by blaming previous water-sharing agreements and questioned BRS's irrigation project delays. Both parties highlighted water management challenges amid regional disputes with Andhra Pradesh over river water diversion.
