BRS general secretary T Jeevan Reddy accused Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy of neglecting irrigation projects, stating he has not fully utilised the Kaleshwaram scheme nor completed the Tummidihatti project in 33 months. He demanded immediate operation of Kannepalli pumps and repairs to the Medigadda barrage, alleging the government is helping Andhra Pradesh CM Chandrababu Naidu at the expense of Telangana farmers.
Irrigation Minister N Uttam Kumar Reddy said the government is fast-tracking the Devadula lift irrigation scheme, aiming to complete it by next year. He announced a Rs 6,000 crore special package for under-construction irrigation projects, with Rs 2,500 crore already released, and urged coordinated work to resolve land acquisition bottlenecks.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Telangana Today leads with BRS criticism of the Congress government over incomplete Kaleshwaram utilisation and Medigadda inaction. The Times of India focuses on the government's Devadula completion timeline and fund release. The BRS source emphasises alleged neglect and political motives, while the government source highlights progress and financial commitment. The balanced reading shows both sides agree projects are incomplete, but differ on responsibility and pace. The Devadula completion by 2027 will test the government's execution.
