KCR resolved water dispute in one year: Jagadish Reddy
Hyderabad, March 3 (INN): Energy Minister Jagadish Reddy has claimed that Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao has resolved a six-decade old water dispute with Maharashtra within one year.
Speaking to media persons at Telangana Bhavan on Thursday, Jagadish Reddy said although the Congress party was in power for 10 years in both Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra, it failed to resolve the dispute over sharing of Godavari River waters. However, he said it was due to effective representation made by KCR, the Maharashtra Government itself came forward for a pact for construction of five barrages on Godavari, Pranahita and Penganga. He said the pact, to be signed on March 8, would permanently resolve the dispute and would help thousands of drought-hit farmers in both the State.
The minister, on behalf of farmers of Telangana, thanked KCR for resolving the dispute with Maharashtra.
