He informed that 18 districts across the State were affected by drought and there is no water in Krishna delta. He demanded the Chief Minister to hold an all-party meeting or Assembly meeting immediately to discuss the issue drought condition in the State and the injustice in the allocation of Krishna waters. Youth should participate in this agitation on a big scale for the future of the State, he said.
