*YSRCP intensifies Statewide action on Rayalaseema Lift Irrigation*

Tadepalli, March 23:YSRCP State Coordinator Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy held a key meeting at the party central office with leaders from Rayalaseema, Nellore and Prakasam districts to finalise the future course of action on the Rayalaseema Lift Irrigation Project.

He directed leaders to take the issue aggressively to the public and expose Chandrababu Naidu’s role in halting the project. District-level task forces will be formed to implement the campaign, and meetings will be held every 10 days over the next two to three months to sustain momentum. Student, youth and farmer wings will be actively involved to expand outreach.

As part of the campaign, pamphlets will be distributed in every household explaining the losses caused by stopping the project and the failures in irrigation under the current government. Awareness programmes will also highlight the impact of the Almatti dam height increase and Polavaram height reduction on the state’s water security and farmers.

Former minister Sake Sailajanath has been assigned responsibility for state-level coordination of the campaign.

Senior leaders including SV Satish Reddy, P. Ravindranath Reddy, Ushashree Charan, Bhoomana Karunakar Reddy, Kakani Govardhan Reddy, Katasani Ram Bhupal Reddy, Akeapati Amarnath Reddy and others attended the meeting.

YSRCP stated it will carry forward a sustained campaign to build public pressure until the Rayalaseema Lift Irrigation Project is resumed and completed.
