  "account": "Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy accused Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) chief K. Chandrasekhar Rao of illegally diverting water to his farmhouse. Reddy claimed that a canal had been constructed from Kondapochammasagar to Panchapandavula Cheruvu, allowing water to be pumped directly to Rao's property. He demanded an explanation for the diversion of water to Rao's farmhouse and suggested the formation of a fact-finding committee to investigate the matter. Reddy challenged the BRS to participate in a Legislative Assembly debate on water-sharing issues between the Krishna and Godavari rivers, alleging that the previous government had compromised Telangana's water rights. The government was prepared to discuss the impact on the state's interests and asked the BRS leadership to cease making false allegations. Reddy warned that the public would not believe such claims if they persisted in repeating falsehoods, stating that the government would continue to tell the truth.",
