During a public program on the agricultural crisis in Anantapur district, TDP chief Chandrababu enraged against the YSRCP government's management of the irrigation sector. He criticized the ruling party for allegedly obstructing the Handriniva and Bhairavanithippa projects, which resulted in a lack of water for crops.

He also pledged to transform Rayalaseema into a horticulture hub. Chandrababu emphasized the importance of farmer awareness for the survival of the agriculture sector.

During the event, Chandrababu made a statement suggesting that the farmer should work collectively to save the agriculture sector.
