Minister for Irrigation Minister N. Uttam Kumar Reddy has condemned the Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS)‘s charge that the Congress government has decided to hand over the projects on Krishna and Godavari river basins to the Centre.
Mr.Reddy said there was no question of handing over the projects to the Centre unless the justified share of Telangana in the river waters is achieved. “There is no proposal or direction for handing over the projects to Krishna River Management Board,” he added.
He also took objection to former Minister T. Harish Rao’s comments casting aspersions on the Congress government which took over the reins of the State less than two months ago, saying: “The BRS government has in fact killed the interests of Telangana by repeatedly agreeing to 299 tmcft as share of the State in the meetings convened by the Central government.”
