Telangana CM KCR lashes out at AP over water dispute

Telangana chief minister K Chandrashekar Rao on Monday expressed his anger at the central government as well as Andhra Pradesh government for hindering the execution of irrigation projects in Telangana state.
The chief minister said he was disappointed with the government of Andhra Pradesh for not reciprocating the good faith he had shown in accommodate state's interests.
Chandrashekar Rao called a meeting of his senior staff to finalise the states's tactics if the Union Water Resources Ministry calls an Apex Council meeting--which is likely any time after the second week of this month--on the Krishna and Godavari rivers water dispute between Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
He slams the AP Government and said “The AP government has unnecessarily poked us. They lodged baseless allegations and complaints against us. Let us give a befitting answer in the Apex Council to effectively counter their charges and shut their mouth once and for all.”
The chief minister made it clear that Telangana was constructing projects based on the state's share of river waters and it was not at all correct to raise objections to projects for which allocation of water was agreed upon before the formation of Telangana.
