Why it matters
The concerns center on the alleged failure of the government to utilize major water projects, such as Kaleshwaram and Palamuru-Rangareddy, to their full potential. Rama Rao demanded that the government immediately conduct a comprehensive crop-loss survey and provide compensation to affected farmers.
