The former Anantapur MP J.C. Diwakar Reddy once again revived the proposal of merging Kurnool and Anantapur districts with Telangana so that the irrigation water needs of the region are taken care of as the water resources of Telangana and these districts are inter-linked and common.
He spoke at the Rayalaseema Kartavya Deeksha at the STBC College Grounds here on Monday.
The movement for demanding the water rights of the Rayalaseema region had gained momentum for the past six months and beginning Monday several organisations, both political and non-political, have lined up direct action programmes.
