BJP leader Ashok has criticized the Karnataka state government for its inadequate response to the ongoing drought. He stressed the urgent need to provide immediate relief to farmers severely affected by water shortages. To highlight the crisis and demand water release, Ashok announced that the BJP will launch a padayatra from Anjanadri Hill to the Tungabhadra Dam starting Friday.
The march aims to urge authorities to release water from the Tungabhadra reservoir for irrigation purposes. The drought has significantly impacted agricultural activities in Karnataka, threatening farmers' livelihoods and crop yields. Ashok's criticism reflects growing frustration among opposition leaders over the government's handling of the situation. The planned padayatra is expected to rally public support and emphasize the demand for urgent government action to alleviate the drought's effects.
