Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president K.T. Rama Rao visited Mushampalli village of Nalgonda on Monday and interacted with farmers including Ganneboina Mallaiah and Borla Ram Reddy, who are known for sinking several borewells to protect their standing crops during the Statehood movement.
Mr. Mallaiah said they have incurred huge losses this season as the crops cultivated had gone dry following scarcity of water for irrigation and his efforts to save the crop by sinking new borewells had also proved futile.
The farmers told the BRS leader that they were facing drinking water and irrigation problems for the first time since 2014. He stated that the present drought condition was not caused by nature but due to the “inefficient” Congress government.
