TRS MLA Jupally Krishna Rao severely criticized the Telangana Congress ministers and MLAs for staying mum as Seemandhra region is looting Telangana water. He, along with hundreds of TRS activists staged a dharna at Srisalam Dam protesting the release of water to benefit Krishna Delta. Krishna Rao said that the Seemandhra CM is giving priority to paddy fields in Krishna district, while people of Mahabubnagar district are dying due to thirst. About 30 villages in Mahabubnagar district get drinking water from Srisailam backwaters. The latest GO issued by CM Kiran Kumar Reddy threatens these drinking water schemes.
Krishna Rao warned the government to take back the controversial GO allowing water release or face dire consequences. TRS leaders Jithendar Reddy and Niranjan Reddy participated in the dharna.
Krishna Rao also visited the Jurala, Ramanpadu, Koilsagar projects in Mahabubnagar districts
