Almatti Height Increase is a Death Warrant for Telangana by Karnataka Congress : KTR

BRS Working President K.T. Rama Rao (KTR) today came down heavily on the Karnataka Congress government for deciding to raise the Almatti Dam height, calling it a “death warrant” for Telangana farmers.

In a statement, KTR slammed Telangana CM Revanth Reddy for “luxuriating in Delhi” while a dangerous conspiracy was being hatched against Telangana’s farmers.

He pointed out that the Karnataka cabinet, three days ago, decided to raise Almatti’s height from 519 feet to 524 feet.

He alleged that this was not merely for an additional 100 TMC of water, but part of a conspiracy to deprive Telangana of its rightful share of Krishna waters and turn erstwhile Mahabubnagar, Nalgonda, and Ranga Reddy districts into deserts.

“Congress is in power here and there too. Do you have neither the courage to speak nor the guts to resist when Telangana farmers’ lives are at stake?” he asked, demanding that both Revanth Reddy and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi answer Telangana people.

KTR declared that national parties must have a national policy.
