BRS MLAs have threatened to resign if the Annaram and Sundilla barrages are damaged during water-lifting operations. The opposition party accuses the current government of mismanaging the Kaleshwaram project for political gain.
Why it matters
Reflects intense regional political friction over infrastructure management and the impact of water policy on local farmers.
Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) MLAs Gangula Kamalakar, K.P. Vivekanand Goud and Padi Kaushik Reddy said all the 28 MLAs of BRS would quit their elected posts and stay away from politics in case the Annaram and Sundilla barrages are damaged in the process of lifting back water , as being argued by the government.
Addressing a press conference here on Tuesday, Mr. Kamalakar said a large quantity of water was passing through Medigadda Barrage every day, which could easily be lifted by without closing the barrage gates to feed Annaram Barrage for the backward journey of water till Yellampally - and from there with the help of canals, tunnels and pump houses - to fill different reservoirs. He pointed out that crops raised under Mid Manair were withering due to lack of water in the reservoir.
