Hyderabad: Former Minister of Irrigation Ponnala Lakshaiah from Congress said the central step was a blow to the main ministers of the two countries.
“This is the failure of the KCR and Jagan Mohan Reddy section.
The interests of people from both countries have been pawned by them.
They tried to incite the ‘water sentiment’ of people from two Telugu countries and emerged as champions for their own political benefits,” said Lakshaiah told toi.
Lakshaiah, who served as Minister of Irrigation between 2004 and 2011 in the State App Combined, said: There was no major dispute in sharing river water between the two countries in the past six and a half years, it was only from the past few months.
That both CMS has engineered the escalation of water sentiment among people.
“Water is the subject of the country.
But none of the CMS shows the intention to solve river water disputes at their level which results in central intervention.” Although the center notification on two rivers is a much greater loss for Telangana because now it needs permission within six months For prestigious Kalesthwaram, irrigation irrigation Palamuru-Rangareddy, AP, AP also cannot continue with the works of the expansion of the Head of PothhiredDypadu, Rayalaseema raises irrigation schemes, water transfer from Sangameshwar or Rajolibanda Diversion Scheme, said Lakshmiah.
When the political interests of two CMS are the most important compared to the interests of the people and the country, the center has intervened to control the river and the project on it, he said.
“It takes a very long time for a problem to resolve when two countries bring it to the center.
Imagine the fate of Telangana and AP now.
There are several major, medium and small irrigation projects and canal works that will be taken.
Countries must follow the Central Dictates now.
Also, the decision of the river management council will be final if there is a dispute over the waters of the river between the two countries, “he said.
The former minister also found a mistake with KCR because of utilizing the water of the Krishna river for Hydel power plants at the wrong time.
About 12 TMC water entered the sea and 30 other TMCs had been stored in Pulichintala when Telangana released water from Srisailam to Nagarjuna Sagar to Pulichintala to produce hydel power.
Hydel power must be produced when there is a surplus of water or when farmers need water for irrigation, he added.
