YSRC demands water release for farmers

Hyderabad, Sept 18, 2012: YSR Congress Party today brought the farmers’ problems of Kurnool and YSR districts to the notice of the Chief Minister Kiran Kumar Reddy.

YSR Congress legislature party deputy leader Sobha Nagi Reddy and party MLA Srikanth Reddy told journalists at media point in the assembly premises they have appealed to Kiran Kumar Reddy to release water to the two districts enabling the farmers to cultivate their lands.

“We have appealed to the Chief Minister to release water to the two districts but there is no clear assurance from the Chief Minister,” they said, adding that the Government has not been caring to solve the problems of the farmers.

Accusing the government of deliberately plotting to ensure the adjournment of the assembly to escape from a discussion on the power crisis, Sobha Nagi Reddy and Srikanth Reddy said the state failed on the power front due to lack of planning by the government. “The situation  is the result of Government’s failure,” they said.
