Rejecting the charges of BRS MLA T. Harish Rao that Telangana’s water interests were being compromised as silly, Minister for Irrigation N. Uttam Kumar Reddy said it was the BRS government that compromised with A.P. Chief Minister Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy when 8 to 10 TMC ft of water was being lifted from the Krishna basin by the A.P. government.
Speaking to reporters at the Secretariat, he said KCR and Jagan were closeted for hours together and none knew what transpired between them but KCR went silent when 8 to 10 TMC ft of water per day was being taken away by the Jagan government.
