BJP says nothing wrong in handing over projects to KRMB

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has wondered why the State government is going back on handing over the Krishna projects to the river board after agreeing it even in a meeting with Union Minister of Jal Shakti Gajendra Singh Shekhawat last month.

Speaking on the resolution taken up on against handing over the projects to KRMB in the Assembly on Monday, Floor Leader of the party A. Maheshwar Reddy said the government appeared to be planning to delay the hand over for reasons better known for it. He sought to know why this resolution was brought on to the picture all of a sudden and said there was nothing wrong in handing over projects when the two States were at loggerheads.

He blamed the previous Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) government too stating that it too had committed several mistakes in the matter of Krishna water share of Telangana. It had never spoke against handing over the projects but spoke only about lack of protocols and lack of clarity on water shares of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.
