CPI(M) and Telangana Rythu Sangham activists staged a dharna in Khammam district demanding uninterrupted power supply for irrigation. Former minister Puvvada Ajay Kumar accused the Revanth Reddy government of failing farmers, warning that standing crops are withering due to shortages of water and electricity.
Former Minister T Harish Rao questioned the Congress government’s claim of providing 24-hour power supply to farmers after inspecting a sub-station in Siddipet. He said its log book showed power was supplied for only 10 hours and 15 minutes on September 3.
