YSRCP announces Statewide protest for Rayalaseema Lift Irrigation Project completion
The YSRCP has announced a statewide protest to demand the completion of the Rayalaseema Lift Irrigation Project (RLIP), accusing the current alliance government of stalling the project. The party plans to mobilize support from various sectors and form advisory committees to strengthen their movement.
Why it matters
The dispute over the RLIP reflects ongoing regional political tensions regarding water resource management and infrastructure development in Andhra Pradesh.
YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) State coordinator Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy said that the party will launch a statewide movement to achieve the rights of Rayalaseema region.
Addressing the media after participating in the Rayalaseema Lift Irrigation Project (RLIP) Task Force Committee round table meeting in Nellore on Monday, he said, “The government is making promises about new projects like Banakacharla while neglecting the RLIP, which needs to be completed. It serves as the lifeline for Rayalaseema, Nellore and Prakasam districts. We will intensify the agitation to ensure its completion. We appeal to all political parties, farmers’ unions, civil society groups, and intellectuals to support this struggle.”
