She asserted that if the State government is planning to redesign the project, a detailed power point presentation should be made in the Assembly to keep the public informed.

The BRS legislator pointed out that despite facing numerous challenges and court cases filed by the Congress leaders, former Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao had successfully completed 90 percent of the PRLIS. She expressed concern about potential delay in executing the project due to retendering process and its impact on cultivation.

Kavitha also demanded that the Congress government keep its promise by distributing the hiked amount of the social security pensions to all the existing 44 lakh beneficiaries. She said the beneficiaries were yet to receive their pensions under the scheme.
