Reddy urges Naidu to come forward to resolve water sharing disputes

Hyderabad, July 1 (UNI) Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Tuesday urged his Andhra Pradesh counterpart N Chandrababu Naidu to come forward to resolve water sharing disputes amicably.
Revanth, who participated in the PowerPoint representation on the Banakacharla Project at Praja Bhavan here, said the State government is ready to fight a legal battle for its rights.
The CM stressed that the two Telugu states should hold talks to arrive at a conclusion on the share of flood water and surplus water.
It was former Chief Minister KCR who permitted neighbouring Andhra Pradesh to utilize Godavari water without specific allocations, he said in a meeting held on June 18, 2015, “KCR and former Minister Harish signed the ‘death warrant’ for Telangana and signed the water allocation with their AP counterparts”.
Exposing the KCR’s government in the allocation and utilization of water from Godavari and Krishna, he said out of 1486 TMC in the Godavari basin, 968 TMC were allocated to Telangana and 518 TMC to Andhra.
AP Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu took advantage of KCR’s statement of availability of 3,000 TMC of flood waters and constructing projects by AP government without allocation of water between the two states, he pointed out.
Revanth Reddy also recounted fears raised by former Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh on river water disputes at the time of bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh and the creation of River water management board to resolve the disputes.
The CM said that AP was objecting to Telangana in constructing projects in Krishna basin.
He wondered why the AP was opposing projects even after the allocation of assured water to Telangana projects.
