A movement to alleviate the problems of the people

  • Demand for protection of need for irrigation water and drinking water
  • An agitation to awaken the rulers
Hyderabad: Rulers of upstream areas are competitively building projects and lift irrigation schemes in the name of current local situations. Prominently, projects are being constructed on River krishna in the states of Telangana, Karnataka and Maharashtra. Telangana Government is quickly making arrangements for the construction of recently-taken up Palamuru-Rangareddy and Dindi lift irrigation schemes. If these projects are completed, downstream areas Rayalaseema, Guntur, Nellore and Prakasam districts as well as Nalgonda and Khammam districts of Telangana will have to suffer serious scarcity of irrigation and drinking water.
The Government of AP is responsible for preventing such a dreadful situation. When 7-8 districts of the state are in the verge of being dried up, it has to act right away. But Chandrababu, having been caught in Note for Vote case, is scared of raising his voice. He chose to ignore the public benefit. He resorted to employ the yellow media to divert the attention of the people from his failure.
YSRCP has recognised this deception and chosen to fight for the people, being a responsible opposition party. It has appealed to the centre for holding back the unlawful upstream projects from being carried on. It has met Governor Narasimhan and submitted a memorandum. The leader of opposition and YSRCP president YS Jagan is going on a hunger strike in the name of ‘Jala Deeksha’ at Kurnool from the 16th to the 18th of this month in order to remind the rulers of their duty. In solidarity to this strike, YSRCP leaders and activists are staging agitation on the 17th of this month at all mandal headquarters.
