As Godavari water reaches Suryapet, Jagadish celebrates Diwali with elated farmers

Speaking on the occasion, he said the dream of bringing Godavari waters to Suryapet was realized before Diwali as assured earlier and all the credit goes to Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao, who paid special attention towards shifting Godavari waters to Suryapet through Kaleshwaram project.

He promised the ayacut farmers of providing sufficient water though the SRSP canals.
