At the BRSV State Conference, BRS working president KT Rama Rao accused the Congress party, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu of conspiring to undermine Telangana’s achievements and deny its rightful water share.
The Centre is likely to convene an Apex Council meeting on July 11 to address the disputed Godavari-Banakacherla Link Project. Andhra Pradesh remains firm despite EAC rejection, while Telangana opposes the project over water-sharing concerns and procedural violations.
Accuses Congress, BJP of ignoring AP’s Rs 80,000-cr Godavari-Banakacherla project; says it threatens Telangana’s water security; urges immediate State action; vows a legal and public fight if the government fails to act
Telangana had formally requested the postponement, citing a crucial meeting on April 24 of the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), led by Union Jal Shakti Secretary Debashree Mukherjee, which is set to review the Sitarama Lift Irrigation Scheme and the Seetamma Sagar multipurpose project
The project is expected to have serious ramifications, but its realisation depends on the perspective and approach of the Krishna Water Disputes Tribunal-2, headed by Justice Brijesh Kumar
