Revanth ridicules KCR for comments on drought

Refuting the allegations of Opposition Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) that drought conditions in Telangana were the result of the Congress rule, Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy reminded that there was deficit rainfall during the monsoon last year, resulting in the non-availability of water in the projects and a continuously decreasing groundwater table. He questioned the rationale of the allegations. The Chief Minister observed that BRS president and former minister K Chandrasekhar Rao visited agriculture fields as part of the ‘Polam Bata’ programme only for political mileage in the Lok Sabha elections. “We welcome his visit as he could at least think about the people’s issues now since he lost power, suffered a fracture and witnessed the arrest of his daughter,” he said.
