BJP demands Telangana Govt to release Jurala water, large Ganesh idols entry on Tank Bund for immersion
The BJP in Telangana is pressuring the state government to release water from the Jurala reservoir to support farmers and is demanding that large Ganesh idols be permitted on Tank Bund for immersion. The party also criticized the government for failing to implement federal crop insurance schemes.
Why it matters
This reflects ongoing political friction between the opposition and the state government regarding agricultural policy and religious event management.
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Telangana president N. Ramchander Rao on Monday (September 21, 2026) announced that a high-level party delegation, led by him, would visit the Priyadarshini Jurala Project on Tuesday to assess water levels and understand the problems faced by farmers in the downstream regions.
Speaking to reporters at the BJP State office in Hyderabad after inducting new members into the party, Mr. Rao urged the Congress government to take immediate steps to release water from the Jurala reservoir to safeguard standing crops. Poor coordination and disagreements among local leaders were adversely affecting farmers dependent on irrigation from the project, he claimed.
