Telangana State Planning Board Vice Chairman G. Chinna Reddy accused the Congress government of neglecting Palamuru’s irrigation interests, alleging cost escalation in the Dindi Lift Irrigation project and illegal diversion of Krishna waters by Andhra Pradesh.

Cotton farmers in Mahabubnagar and Jogulamba Gadwal districts staged protests against the Congress government and CCI for cutting the procurement limit from 12 to 10 quintals per acre. Farmers blocked roads, alleging unfair policy changes and official harassment at purchase centres.

Legislators from Telangana’s Palamuru region, including Jadcherla MLA Anirudh Reddy and Mahabubnagar MLA Yennem Srinivas Reddy, have demanded annual development funds of ₹25 crore per constituency, criticizing unequal distribution and alleging neglect compared to regions like Khammam and Nalgonda

Former minister Niranjana Reddy said the State government is allowing valuable Krishna river water to flow into the Bay of Bengal while farmers in the Palamuru region desperately await water for their fields.

He wanted the two governments to uphold the rights given to the people of the two backward regions by the constitution and help quench the thirst of the people.

The BJP had failed to fulfill the assurances made to Telangana under AP Reorganisation Act and had no moral right to seek votes from the people, he said.

The Minister also took to X (formerly Twitter) and said the people of Telangana were aware of Modi's tactics to cheat people by making false promises.

Stating that Andhra Pradesh's petition had no truth, the Minister termed the Tribunal's decision a victory for Telangana and its people.
