“We will complete all the pending water projects in the state on time and achieve a green Telangana.”
The manifesto promised completion of all pending water projects on time to achieve a green Telangana. Several major irrigation projects, including the Palamuru-Rangareddy Lift Irrigation Scheme, remain incomplete, with the completion deadline for that project alone having been revised from December 2026 to December 2027. No approved-source evidence was found that all pending water projects statewide have been completed on time. Absent verifiable delivery of this comprehensive commitment, the verdict is pending. Budget: substantial multi-year allocations continue for irrigation projects, but no approved-source evidence confirms completion on the promised timeline.
