KTR inspects dried-up crops in Nagarkurnool
BRS Working President KTR visits Nagarkurnool to inspect dried-up crops and discuss farming difficulties with local farmers.
In a significant visit to the agricultural heartlands, Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) Working President KT Rama Rao (KTR) travelled to the Nagarkurnool district of Telangana to assess the impact of the recent dry spell. On Sunday, KTR visited the outskirts of Deshitikyal village, where he personally inspected fields of dried-up crops and engaged in direct dialogue with the local farming community.
Assessing the agricultural crisis
The visit was aimed at understanding the severe hardships being faced by farmers due to the lack of adequate rainfall. During his inspection, KTR took stock of the deteriorating condition of the crops and listened to the grievances of the cultivators who are struggling to sustain their livelihoods amidst the dry spell.
KTR was not alone during this field visit; he was accompanied by a significant delegation of BRS leaders and political figures, including:
- Former ministers Jagadish Reddy, C Lakshma Reddy, and V Srinivas Goud
- MLC Naveen Kumar Reddy
- Former MLAs Marri Janardhan Reddy and Alla Venkateshwar Reddy
From the fields to the silver screen
The visit to the agricultural sector follows a brief cultural engagement by the BRS leader. On Saturday, KTR attended a screening of the Telugu period action-drama The Paradise at the Sudharshan Theatre in Hyderabad. He took the opportunity to praise the film's thematic depth and its portrayal of regional identity.
Speaking to the media, KTR lauded the film, directed by Srikanth Odela, for being a powerful voice against suppression. He highlighted how the movie depicts the struggle for existence and the emergence of leadership in the face of adversity.
A tribute to Telangana's culture
KTR noted that the film serves as a remarkable representation of the state's heritage, stating:
"This film captures Telangana's soil, dialect, and culture remarkably well, and it shows the ways people rise up against suppression, delivering a powerful message."
He extended his heartfelt congratulations to director Srikanth Odela, actor Nani, and the entire production team for their efforts in bringing such a story to life. The film, which was released on September 24, features a notable ensemble cast including Mohan Babu, Kayadu Lohar, Sonali Kulkarni, and Raghav Juyal. Notably, actor Priyadarshi Pulikonda appears in a political cameo as MLA Shankaranna, a character reportedly inspired by former Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao (KCR).
