Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president K.T. Rama Rao on Sunday warned the Congress government that his party would lay siege to the Kannepally pumphouse if it failed to start water pumping to meet the irrigation and drinking water requirements of seven districts as well as Hyderabad metropolitan city.
