Govt Committed to Protecting TG's Water Rights: Uttam

|June 28, 2025
IRRIGATION and Civil Supplies Minister N Uttam Kumar Reddy on Friday reiterated that the Congress government was committed to protecting Telangana's rightful share of Krishna and Godavari waters at any cost.
After inspecting the ongoing irrigation works on Krishna river in Suryapet district, the minister made it clear that there would be no compromise on the state's water rights, which he described as essential for farmers' prosperity and the future of Telangana.
Uttam came down heavily on the previous BRS government, holding it responsible for pushing the irrigation sector into a crisis and burdening the state with a staggering ₹16,000 crore in annual interest payments on irrigation loans alone.
He said the financial burden caused by the BRS mismanagement was nothing short of a sin against the people of Telangana.
The minister asserted that the Congress government, in contrast, is a true farmer-friendly administration that is working around the clock to secure justice for farmers.
