Harish Rao sounds alarm over AP bid to revoke Telangana project clearances, questions Congress govt’s silenceBRS leader T Harish Rao alleged that the Congress government had failed to safeguard Telangana’s water interests as Andhra Pradesh sought a review of clearances for key irrigation projects before the August 18 GRMB meeting. Harish Rao also questioned why the proposed Godavari-Banakacherla project had not been brought before the GRMB by Telangana. He questioned whether there was an understanding between Revanth Reddy and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu over Banakacherla. He said Telangana’s water utilisation under the Congress government fell to 26 per cent, against allocated 34 per cent. “Telangana water rights cannot be compromised,” Harish Rao said, warning that the BRS would oppose every attempt to dilute the State’s share and launch a larger agitation if necessary.
