Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president K.T. Rama Rao on Tuesday mounted a blistering attack on the Congress government, alleging that Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy has 'zero understanding' of river water management and that irrigation ministers are 'dangerously ignorant'.

Addressing a felicitation meeting of newly elected Sarpanches and ward members at the BRS office in Nalgonda, KTR said the Congress is resorting to “case dramas and diversionary politics” as it has no answers to questions raised by former Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao on irrigation and governance.

KTR challenged the Chief Minister to stop leaking information and openly declare proposed cases, asserting that BRS will not bow to intimidation. He accused the government of mishandling Krishna river water issues, misleading farmers, and deliberately stalling key projects like the Palamuru–Rangareddy Lift Irrigation Scheme.

On cooperative societies, KTR challenged the Congress government to immediately conduct elections if it truly believes it has done justice to farmers. He alleged that the government is terrified of facing elections due to public anger and is instead filling posts through nominated positions. “If elections are held, farmers will teach Congress a fitting lesson,” he warned.
