“The Congress, which came to power with lies and false promises, is now making unfounded statements to cover up its failures. The people of Telangana are disgusted by their behaviour after coming to power. Within three months after the Congress assumed power, the farmers of Telangana are now fully aware of its inefficiency to address their problems,” he posted on X.

IMD లెక్కల ప్రకారం 2023-24 సంవత్సరానికి సాధారణానికంటే 14% ఎక్కువ వర్షపాతం (excess rainfall) తెలంగాణలో నమోదు అయ్యింది.

నీటి సమస్యలని తీర్చే చేవలేక, చేతకాక .. లోటు వర్షపాతం (deficit rainfall) అని మాట్లాడడం విడ్డూరం!
