Kavitha accuses Congress government of neglecting farmers’ woes

Telangana Rakshana Sena president K. Kavitha criticized the Congress government for ignoring farmers' concerns. Addressing a press conference, she emphasized that the government must prioritize farmers' needs, particularly in light of the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Project. Kavitha visited fields in Maqdumpur village near Karimnagar, where she saw withered crops, and attributed the damage to insufficient irrigation water.

She called on Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy to take immediate action to safeguard farmers' interests, including providing 24-hour power supply for agriculture, lifting water for irrigation, and conducting a statewide assessment of crop damage.
