Andhra farmers taught farming to Telangana farmers, says TPCC president

Claims that many farmers from AP settled in Banswada, Bodhan, Dichpally and other areas due to water availability through Nizam Sagar project

Nizamabad: TPCC president Mahesh Kumar Goud courted controversy on Monday when he said during the Nizamabad Rythu Mahotsavam that Andhra farmers from Prakasam, Krishna and Guntur districts had settled in the region and taught farming to local farmers.

Many Andhra farmers were settled in Banswada, Bodhan, Dichpally and other areas due to water availability through Nizam Sagar project. However, of late, the harvest was coming down and water availability was also declining in Nizamabad, he said.
