Revanth Reddy vows to bring Krishna waters to Kodangal by December 2028

Hyderabad, Nov 9 (UNI) Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Monday vowed to bring Krishna river water to the Kodangal region by December 2028, asserting that the government was committed to transforming the drought-prone areas of Palamuru into fertile agricultural lands.
Addressing a farmers' public meeting at Lagacherla in Kodangal constituency after laying foundation stones for development projects worth Rs. 9,053 crore, the Chief Minister accused the previous BRS government of neglecting Palamuru district and delaying irrigation projects, including the Palamuru-Rangareddy, Kalwakurthy, Bhima and Nettempadu schemes.
He alleged that despite the formation of Telangana, migration from Palamuru continued as successive governments failed to complete irrigation projects and provide adequate employment opportunities. He also accused former Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao of leaving the State with debts of Rs 8.11 lakh crore.
Revanth Reddy said his government had been spending nearly Rs. 80,000 crore annually towards repayment of loans and interest inherited from the previous regime. He claimed that more than Rs 2 lakh crore had been spent on debt servicing over the last 34 months. He also said government employees were being paid salaries on the first of every month since January 2024.
The Chief Minister said the government had initiated major educational and industrial development projects in Kodangal to end migration and create local employment opportunities. These included a medical college, engineering and degree colleges, a Young India Integrated School, polytechnic and ITI institutions, a Sainik School and junior colleges in every mandal.
He said industrial projects spread across 3,000 acres would attract investments worth thousands of crores and generate employment for local youth. A 250-foot-wide road would also be developed to improve connectivity between Hyderabad and Kodangal.
Revanth Reddy announced that the government would promote dry-land crops to tackle the anticipated El Niño impact and assured farmers that adequate rice stocks were available. He said fine-quality rice was being supplied every month to 3.5 crore people across the State.
Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka, Assembly Speaker Gaddam Prasad Kumar, PCC president Mahesh Kumar Goud and several Ministers, legislators and senior officials attended the meeting..
