BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao has criticised Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy for prioritising the Musi Riverfront Development project over addressing drought, crop losses, and water shortages. Rama Rao questioned the allocation of 10 tmc ft of water from Mallannasagar to the Musi and the spending of ₹1.5 lakh crore on the project amid distress in rural areas. He alleged inadequate use of Godavari and Krishna water, with 365 mandals declared drought-hit, and contrasted Telangana's situation with Andhra Pradesh's water management. Rama Rao also raised concerns about the lack of transparency in the project, the absence of the Detailed Project Report, and the detention of BRS leaders during a public hearing.
He accused the government of neglecting Medigadda barrage repairs since 2023 and failing to act despite damage to pillars. Rama Rao highlighted farmer suicides in Adilabad, the use of generators and tankers by farmers, and burning of crops due to financial strain. He criticised the government for power shortages, delays in employee benefits, and unmet promises to farmers, youth, and women.
