Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy accused former Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao of deliberately creating water disputes between Andhra Pradesh and Telangana to support his political party. Reddy claimed that Rao was inciting regional sentiments and using Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu’s name in Telangana to benefit his party.
Reddy also alleged that Rao, the President of Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), avoided the state Assembly to evade questioning regarding fund misappropriation in irrigation projects. Speaking at a meeting where State Irrigation Minister Uttam Kumar Reddy presented on irrigation projects and river water issues, the Chief Minister criticized Rao’s absence.
During the meeting, a presentation was made to equip ministers and legislators to counter the opposition’s arguments in the state Assembly on irrigation and river water matters. Reddy challenged Rao to participate in the Assembly debate, emphasizing that the Telangana movement primarily focused on water rights.
