The Freedom Press
Hyderabad Nov 13: Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Friday said that the prevailing water shortage and the fear of El Niño prompted the state government to seek expert suggestion on climate-related challenges at the Bharat Summit 2026 in Hyderabad.
Stressing on the need for sustainable water management, CM Revanth Reddy said the government wanted specialists to suggest ways to maximise agricultural yields while minimising water consumption. Admitting that he was not an expert on climate issues, he urged upon the importance of scientific guidance in framing effective policies to tackle the emerging challenges.
Hitting out at BRS working president K T Rama Rao (KTR), the Chief Minister accused him of focusing more on social media reels and soundbites than addressing Telangana’s growing water scarcity. He further alleged that the opposition had ignored the issue for months instead of raising concerns over the state’s water security.
