The governments of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana should settle the allocation of surplus Krishna river waters as the Brijesh Kumar Committee had divided it “quite unscientifically,” and if that was not done, 25 lakh acres, which the surplus waters could irrigate, would not get a drop of water, former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister and BJP leader N. Kiran Kumar Reddy said on June 20 (Tuesday).
Addressing the party’s ‘Maha Jan Sampark Abhiyan’, a public meeting, here, Mr. Kiran Kumar Reddy said great injustice had been done by dividing the unified Andhra Pradesh and depriving the State of the surplus waters by the CWC.
“The YSRCP government has totally ignored the irrigation projects in Rayalaseema, and does not allow progress of the Polavaram project,” he alleged.
