Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy has launched a scathing attack on former Chief Ministers K. Chandrashekar Rao (KCR) and Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, blaming their “mutual understanding” for Telangana’s ongoing water crisis.
Speaking at a press conference in Hyderabad after his return from Delhi, Revanth addressed the contentious issue of Krishna river water sharing between Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. He alleged that had KCR taken a firm stand earlier, Telangana would not be in such a precarious position today.
Revanth accused KCR and Jagan of working together behind the scenes, making decisions that favored Andhra Pradesh at the cost of Telangana’s interests. He particularly criticized KCR for neglecting Hyderabad’s water needs, despite the city’s reliance on inter-state river projects.
The CM recalled that KCR had once claimed there were no disputes over river waters and that Godavari waters could be used freely. “But today, reality has proven otherwise,” said Revanth. He added that KCR’s silence and indirect support to Jagan allowed Andhra Pradesh to gain an unfair advantage.
“Who gave KCR the right to gamble with the lives of Telangana’s people? You may be friends with Jagan, but why should Telangana pay the price?” Revanth questioned.
Citing projects like Banakacharla, Revanth alleged that decisions on water releases were always designed to benefit Andhra first, leaving Telangana to suffer delayed and reduced allocations. These decisions, he claimed, have led to significant water losses for the state.
Revanth made it clear that his government is now committed to taking a stronger stand in defending Telangana’s rightful share of river waters and exposing the past mishandlings that contributed to the current crisis.
