Hyderabad: Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao sent out a message to his AP counterpart N. Chandrababu Naidu stating that there was no point in quarrelling over sharing of river waters.
The Chief Minister said, “There is no need to quarrel on the water issue. I hope wisdom will prevail and the issue will be settled in an amicable manner. The CWC has records of 47 years of water flow. We have 2,654 tmc ft in Godavari and 1,204 tmc ft in Krishna. We have 4,200 tmc ft, which is enough to irrigate four crore acres. Let AP utilise water for three crore acres and leave water for one crore acres for us.”
He also claimed that he had checked political corruption, and promises to weed out corruption at lower levels through multiple actions including online transactions for permissions and others.
Visualising a vibrant, economically and industrially strong TS, Mr Rao reeled out various government developmental programmes and welfare schemes for the uplift of the poor. “I need to openly speak to you. There are no better friends and relatives than you all. The Governor advised me to seek suggestions from intellectuals. Telangana’s growth rate is more than the national average. We have set the goal and laid a road map. You will see multiple, manifold growth. Let us all rededicate ourselves to uplift the poor and strive for development,” he said.
