YS Jagan Urges CM Naidu To Protect Andhra’s Interests In Krishna Waters

YSR Congress Party president Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has urged Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu to safeguard the interests of the people of the state before the Krishna Water Disputes Tribunal-II (KWDT-II).

In a letter to the Chief Minister, Jagan said that the state government will have an opportunity to present its case in the upcoming hearings before the KWDT–II.

The YSRCP leader wrote that this is of vital importance in light of the Telangana government’s demand for the allocation of 763 TMC of dependable water in the Krishna River



to the state of Telangana.

If the Tribunal accedes to this request, the State of Andhra Pradesh would be subjected to severe injustice. Andhra Pradesh Government has to now present its final arguments before the KWDT-II and prevent the unfair reallocation, YS Jagan said.

“It is quite distressing to note that the TDP coalition Government in the State of AP does not seem to have any sincerity in protecting the State's rights over the Krishna river waters. The coalition government is making fragile arguments on behalf of the State before KWDT-II,” he wrote.
