The State Government has decided to adopt a two-pronged strategy to counter Andhra Pradesh’ moves to construct the Banakacharla project envisaging diversion of Godavari water to Krishna and Penna basins as it is detrimental to the interests of Telangana.
Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has asserted that his government has resolved to take up a political battle against construction of the project that is aimed at diverting 400 tmc ft of Godavari water to Krishna and Penna basins for catering to the needs of Rayalaseema and Nellore and Prakasam district. This will be followed by a legal battle if necessary as the Congress Government is committed to protect the interests of Telangana. “We will go to the people if there is no result even then,” he said.
