BRS Plenary: KTR introduces a resolution
seeking qualitative change in India

Industries Minister and BRS Top Leader KT Rama Rao said in BRS plenary session that despite being packed with natural resources and being the world's largest democracy and 7th largest country, India was still plagued with issues such as farmers' suicides, insufficient water for households, communal differences, unemployment, and others.

While Introducing a resolution seeking qualitative change in India during the Bharat Rashtra Samithi's (BRS) plenary on Thursday, KT Rama Rao said the nation should draw inspiration from the Bharat Rashtra Samithi -BRS (formerly known as Telangana Rashtra Samithi - TRS) movement for achieving a separate state - Telangana.

The Minister added he said the rivers across India, vast cultivable available lands, mines, and other natural resources are available. However, still, the people in the country are suffering due to severe poverty because of the lack of vision and endeavors of successive union governments.

There is abundant water available across the country. About 70 thousand TMC of water flows in the rivers across India, of which only 20 thousand TMC was being utilized, and the rest was merging into seas.

If this water was utilized efficiently, water could be supplied to the 41 crore acres of cultivable land in the nation. The union government shared all these facts, he said. "As nearly 50 thousand TMC is flowing down into the seas and the incumbent union governments witnessed it as mere bystanders. As a result, there is a severe shortage of drinking water and irrigation water," KTR said.
