The Bharat Rashtra Samithi has objected to Andhra Pradesh’s appeal to restrict Krishna water allocation to Telangana at 30 tmcft, accusing the Congress government of failing to safeguard the State’s interests. Former Minister V. Srinivas Goud alleged that AP was diverting water to the Penna basin and questioned both AP’s authority and Telangana’s own admission of lacking reservoirs.
Telangana has been advocating for an equitable share of Krishna River waters since the State's bifurcation. The State's hope of securing a larger share of the river water owed to a decade-long effort. The sharing of Krishna River waters is currently based on an ad hoc arrangement agreed upon by both Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, pending the final award of the Krishna Water Disputes Tribunal-II.
