Speaking at the preparatory meeting of undivided Nalgonda district at Nagarjunasagar on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s visit to the state, Revanth Reddy said the Congress was proud to say that it constructed major irrigation projects including Nagarjunasagar. “He advised farmers not to sow paddy in yasangi season, but he had cultivated paddy in 150 acres in his farmhouse,” Revanth Reddy said. The Congress alerted the state government over paddy procurement, but it failed to open paddy purchase centres and provide gunny bags as required, he said.
