Water row: BJP to fight against injustice to Telangana

“We are chalking out an action plan to fight against the injustice meted out to southern Telangana,” Bandi Sanjay said while responding to a question on BJP’s strategy to stop construction of illegal projects by AP govt on Krishna River

Hyderabad: The Telangana BJP State president Bandi Sanjay Kumar here on Tuesday said the party would fight against the injustice done to southern Telangana with respect to construction of illegal irrigation projects on Krishna River. “We are chalking out an action plan to fight against the injustice meted out to southern Telangana,” he said while responding to a question on BJP’s strategy to stop construction of illegal projects by Andhra Pradesh government on Krishna River.

Addressing a press conference here, he said the BJP would launch an agitation to highlight the injustice to Telangana. The Centre did whatever required. The Ministry of Jal Shakti has responded only after BJP wrote a letter to it.

It was the Ministry that stopped the project while responding to BJP’s letter, he claimed.

“The State government was supposed to bring the water issues to the Central government. Instead, we did it,” Sanjay said.

To another question that the BJP can stop the illegal projects as it is in power at the Centre, he said the Krishna River Management Board (KRMB) gave instructions to AP government based on the letter written by BJP only. The BJP leaders earlier paid rich tributes to Jan Sangh founder Dr Shyam Prasad Mukherji in connection with his birth anniversary.
