Revanth Reddy, Telangana's Chief Minister, who claimed to have suspended the Rayalaseema Lift Irrigation Project. The forum, led by Makireddy Purushottam Reddy, asserted that the project is a vital water resource for drought-prone Rayalaseema and defended its legal entitlement based on the Bachawat Tribunal ruling. They demanded an official response from the Andhra Pradesh government to prevent further erosion of the state's water rights.
