The Rayalaseema Saguneeti Sadhana Samithi, which is spearheading a movement for the construction of a weir on the Krishna River at Siddeswaram upstream Srisailam multipurpose project, has asked the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to fulfil its promise of providing drinking and irrigation water to the Rayalaseema region by supporting the more than a decade-old proposal.
At a ‘Jaladeeksha’ campaign at Parnapalli, Samithi president Bojja Dasaradharami Reddy exhorted the farmers to take up the construction of the weir on their own, if the State and Centre did not come forward for the project. The RSSS will take out a rally to Siddeswara for the six consecutive year, demanding immediate construction of a weir-cum-road bridge.
Welcoming the support of Jana Sena Party (JSP) president Pawan Kalyan the project at his public meeting in Sirivella on Sunday, Mr. Dasaratharami Reddy urged BJP State president Somu Veerraju to impress upon the Centre to speed up the project.
