However, in the unedited version of the video, the Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister clearly explains that River Godavari water was being carried to Srisailam and Nagarjuna Sagar for stabilizing the Krishna ayacut.
He clarified that Godavari water was not being drawn through Polavaram project in Andhra Pradesh. K Chandrashekhar Rao was magnanimous to permit diverting River Godavari water to Srisailam and Nagarjuna Sagar routing the same across Telangana.
He was trying to maintain cordial relations between the two States and we should be happy for his gesture, Jaganmohan Reddy said in the video.
The BRS Members demanded the ruling party to play the entire video in the House but their plea was not considered.
