Telangana CM slams KCR for skipping Assembly debate on Krishna waters

Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has criticised Opposition leader and Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) president K. Chandrasekhar Rao for not participating in the important debate on Krishna water issue in the assembly on Monday.

Krishna water was the lifeline of Telangana and people of Mahbubnagar, Nalgonda, Khammam and other districts were dependent on it, he said, adding, “Mr. Chandrasekhar Rao is, however, hiding in his farm house and not coming to the Assembly.” The Chief Minister made this comment while intervening in the more than five-hour debate on the Krishna water issue which witnessed a war of words between the ruling Congress and the main Opposition, BRS.

Mr.Revanth Reddy wondered whether BRS was in support of handing over the projects to the Centre or if it was opposing the development. “Why are they not supporting the resolution for protecting the interests of the State?”
