‘His ignorance is the result of present dispute’.
Telangana Congress president, A. Revanth Reddy has placed the blame on Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao for the ongoing water dispute between Andhra Pradesh and Telangana stating that the CM had ‘deliberately’ stayed away from Krishna River Management Board (KRMB) meetings. Speaking to reporters in Hyderabad, he reminded that despite pleas from the Congress party and other irrigation experts the Chief Minister chose to ignore the issue totally before being forced to act due to intervention from the Court case. He said both CM KCR and then Irrigation Minister T. Harish Rao had agreed in New Delhi for 299 TMC usage for Telangana and 512 TMC for Andhra Pradesh for one year. However, they continued the same usage for the next five years without even discussing the new allotment for the new State.More Related News
