Gandra demands drought-hit status for five more mandals
Jayashankar Bhupalpally: Former MLA Gandra Venkata Ramana Reddy criticised the Congress government for its alleged discriminatory approach in declaring drought-hit mandals and demanded drought status for five more mandals in the district.
Addressing a press conference at the BRS party office on Tuesday, he said Ganapuram, Mogullapally, Regonda, Chityal and Tekumatla should also be declared drought-affected.
He alleged that the Ganapuram tank was not being filled despite water availability in Ramappa and demanded full capacity filling of Ganapuram and Chalivagu tanks to provide irrigation and drinking water.
Gandra criticised the government for failing to implement six guarantees, fulfil employment promises and release retired employees’ benefits.
He also condemned arrests and preventive detention of Opposition leaders, asserting that the BRS would continue its agitation until farmers, employees and unemployed youth received justice.
