Congress is very jittery nowadays in Assam.If they don't provide flood relief and win people's sympathy immediately,they tend to lose a significantamount of their core vote bank population.

CPM in soup over ‘crucifixion’ of Sree Narayana Guru | The Indian Express
In a bid to reduce the attention on Janmashtami pageants organised by Sangh Parivar, the CPI(M) had taken out processions in several parts of the state. In one such procession held at Taliparamba in Kannur, the party had presented a tableau showing that the Guru being crucified by two persons.
The tableau had created outrage from the Sree Narayana Dharma Paripalana (SNDP) Yogam, a powerful Ezhava organisation in the state. The issue has also embarrassed the CPI(M) at a time the party is trying to retain its main Ezhava vote bank. The very purpose of conducting processions on Sri Krishna Jayanti under the pretext of Onam celebrations was to spoil the chances of BJP winning over the Ezhavas.

Drought staring at Telangana - The Hindu 
Not withstanding the intermittent spells of scattered rain in five districts, the Government of Telangana has come to a preliminary assessment that rain-fed crops cultivated in over 10 lakh hectares in the State this kharif season would pile on losses on the farming community, owing to moisture stress caused by prolonged dry spells.
“A drought-like situation is prevailing in most parts of Mahabubnagar, Medak, Nizamabad, Karimnagar and Ranga Reddy districts and a few parts of Nalgonda, Warangal and Adilabad districts. Over 50 per cent of the rain-fed crops cultivated in the set of first five districts are affected badly due to moisture stress including withering,” a senior official in the Agriculture Department told The Hindu on Sunday.
However, the State Government is not in a position to send any report to the Centre seeking relief in the form of input subsidy to the farmers who, in all likelihood, are on the brink of sustaining loss of even investment made on cultivation. The Disaster Management Committee headed by a senior Revenue Department official would be in a position to send a report only in November, by when the crop cutting experiments, if any, would get completed, the official sources stated.
The problem would not be just about the loss to be suffered by the farming community in terms of amount spent of cultivation of crops but drinking water, fodder and wage employment would be bigger issues.
The statistics of rainfall would not reflect the ground reality as the impact of rain-deficit will vary from area to area and crop to crop.
“By all means, production of foodgrains is likely to be affected badly since cultivation of paddy, which comprises more than 50 per cent (10.59 lakh hectares) of total foodgrain (20.65 lakh ha) cultivation in kharif, is just about one-third (5.26 lakh ha)of the normal extent till September first week and less than 50 per cent for the season,” the senior official explained. The officials stated that more than 3.5 lakh paddy cultivated this season was under borewells.
Further, cultivation of pulses was also down by about one-lakh hectares, the sources said adding that the District Collectors were asked to send reports to the State Government in a fortnight’s time about the situation including condition of crops, drinking water, fodder and others for planning relief measures from its side.

This is NOT good news, already farmer suicides in Telangana are already quite high compared to the rest of the nation despite the farm loan waiver undertaken by TG sarkar to help poor farmers! & now they will continue to increase because of the drought, am personally praying for a miracle
KCR in China. What About Us, Come Listen, Plead Farmers
A sing-song mourning ritual punctuated by shrill wails rents the air in the villages of the Medak district of Telangana as virtually every day this week, at least half a dozen farmer suicides have been reported from the rural part of the state.
Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao's departure on 8th September for a China tour on a private jet hired for Rs. 2 crores sits in sharp contrast with families devastated by drought for the second year in a row.
"There is not even a word of reassurance. The Chief Minister is not even talking about the crisis,'' said Puliraju, a school teacher who has been meticulously recording farmer suicide deaths in Medak district for the last 10 years.
In the 15 months since its existence as a state, Telangana has officially reported 409 farmer suicides. Other reports and inquiries put that number at over 1,400.
40-year-old Kishtaiah hung himself in Pirlapally village of Telangana.
"But the government did not even declare drought last year. And they have failed to prepare for what is a recurring crisis,'' agriculture scientist GV Ramanjaneyulu points out.
We visit Pirlapally in Medak district, hardly eight kilometres from the Chief Minister's sprawling farmhouse. On Wednesday, 40-year-old Kishtaiah hung himself in this village, one of nine farmers in the state who chose to end their lives that day.
Nalla Andal, a cotton farmer with two acres of land, says the Chief Minister should be here, among his people, to hear their concerns.
"He is going all over the world but won't come here to see how we are living and dying,'' she says angrily.
Most farmers in Telangana sow cotton - a high-risk crop as seeds, fertilisers and pesticides are expensive but it needs much less water than paddy and is hardier than maize.
"We got spurious seeds which didn't grow well. We have got no insurance either. We have to take what the sahukar (Moneylender with ancillary services ) gives,'' says Mallesham, a farmer in his 30s.
Farmers say that they are already struggling with loans they couldn't pay back because last year's crop failed.
"The heart can take only so much," says Kanakkamma, a 28-year-old from Thimmapur. "We farmers are in such deep distress that people are killing themselves in every village. We thought our chief minister would come to our help. He must. He hasn't done so far.''

Is this the Bangaru Telangana KCR was talking about?? He is doing an average job overall & can do much better, but first he has to do something to save our farmers!
It seems we have to plead with the centre for some sort of help for our farmers or some package for some backward districts of TG if we have no money
Here is a FP comment by a Telanganite(most of it is accurate & not all of it)
Non-Achievements of KCR for his Bangaru Telangana (these are only a few):
1. Changed 3 houses in less than 6 months of coming to power in the name of vaastu+superstition, changed his convoy thrice in the last 1 year in the name of vaastu too
2. Tried to shift Secretariat to a new building in the name of vaastu. Backtracked after opposition from all the sections.
3. Tried to bulldoze the Osmania hospital saying its in dilapidated stage. But experts from Bangalore surveyed and reported that it will be safe for another 100 years and suggested only minor repairs.
4. On air, announced that Telangana is rich state with 15000 crore surplus budget and second only to Gujrat in the country and asked AP to not try to compete with them. Within 2 months he started asking center for funds.
5. Metro was supposed to be started in March 2015 and all stages supposed to be completed by 2017. But because of his sickular+votebank policies he asked the alignment in 2 routes and still there is no alternative routes. L&T threatened to pull out because of all these politics.
6. He had to sent his officers and ministers to foreign to study about cleanliness. Under Chandrababu naidu (CBN), Hyderabad won clean city award for 3 years.
7. Blaming TDP (which ruled long back 1995-2004) for power crisis in Telangana.
8. Blaming Congress for farmers issues even after 15 months into power.
9. Wanted to sell cheap liquor and even his ministers held a press conference with liquor bottles on display to media. Few days back he had to take back that proposal due to opposition from all sections of people and especially from women.
10. One day he says AP govt and CBN not giving power to Telangana despite getting 56% of power from AP. Next month he said we dont want power from AP, but still continues to take it..
11. Telangana has to pay power dues of more than 1100 crores to AP in the last one year. Rich state does not pay the money to poor state despite using the power.
12. Hundreds of farmers suicides in the last 1 year.
13. Asks farmers to not go for paddy fields citing less water and power availability. After few days announces that he is able to supply continuous power to entire state (Obviously farmers did not even started crops).

Yes,but Maha. has am excellent CM+representation at center, TG has none of them..
& On the contrary, KCR won't hesitate to blame CBN,AP or Congress for this problem or even Modi when the time comes..
Unlike Fadnavis..
Let's hope that the drought passes with minimal damage carried out to the entire nation!!

Watching the OROP discussions on TV makes me think that the govt. actually made a terrible mistake in announcing OROP. Very few folks with gratitude are shown and almost everyone else seems to find a fault in it.

Just proves Rahul Gandhi is a Modi Bhakt ....... he too is working towards a Congress Mukt Bharat
That is what happens when you let a matter drag for too long.
You either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain. Sadly common sense is not so common.
