Congress MP Revanth Reddy announced plans to meet the Prime Minister to request central assistance for drought‑stricken districts of Telangana.
Congress leader Revanth Reddy, a senior member of the party from Telangana, said he will approach Prime Minister Narendra Modi to seek urgent central relief for the state’s ongoing drought. The appeal comes as several districts in Telangana continue to face severe water shortages, affecting agriculture and daily life.
Reddy highlighted that the prolonged deficit in monsoon rainfall has left farmers without irrigation, leading to crop failures and rising distress among rural households. He urged the central government to release additional funds and implement swift water‑conservation measures.
The politician added that his team will submit a detailed proposal outlining the specific needs of the most affected regions, aiming for a quick decision from the Union Cabinet. State officials are expected to coordinate with his office to present a unified request.
If approved, the relief package could include financial aid, drought‑mitigation projects, and accelerated implementation of existing schemes such as the Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana. Stakeholders are watching closely for the outcome, as the region’s agrarian economy hangs in balance.
Revanth Reddy’s move underscores the growing political pressure on the centre to address climate‑related challenges that are increasingly impacting India’s heartland.
