HYDERABAD: Telangana on Tuesday began its final push for its rightful share of Krishna river water, making its concluding arguments before the Krishna Waters Disputes Tribunal-II hearings in New Delhi with state irrigation minister N. Uttam Kumar Reddy in attendance. Telangana says it should get nearly 70 per cent of the 811 TMCft of assured Krishna water allocated to the erstwhile unified Andhra Pradesh, which works out to 555 TMCft a year. Our state cannot be denied its fair entitlement while another state continues to divert water out of the Krishna basin,” he said. The minister, criticizing the previous BRS government, alleged that it compromised Telangana’s interests by agreeing in writing for only 299 TMC ft to Telangana, while allotting 512 TMC ft to Andhra Pradesh. “We are confident that the tribunal under Justice Brijesh Kumar will recognise the injustice done to Telangana and deliver a fair allocation.
