The Bharat Rashtra Samithi has accused the Congress government of neglecting the Palamuru Rangareddy Lift Irrigation Scheme and announced a padayatra in June to press for completion of pending works.
Former Deputy CM T Rajaiah was placed under house arrest in Hanamkonda on Monday, hours before his padayatra for farmers’ irrigation demands. BRS leaders condemned the Congress government, calling the move undemocratic, while Rajaiah vowed to continue his agitation.
