Water Should Be Distributed Equally To The Four States

Vijayawada: During his visit to Kodali of Ghantasala mandal in Krishna district, YSRCP farmers’ wing president M.V.S.Nagireddy demanded the central Government for the formation of an independent Krishna River Authority in order to avoid inter-state conflict pertaining to river water consumption. He expressed support to Telangana’s argument in the Supreme Court over Brijesh Kumar Tribunal’s verdict. He supported the opinion that the four states should be allocated water according to projects, after careful re-examination. On the other hand, he questioned how the Government of Telangana could direct 120 TMC of water through Palamuru-Rangareddy Dindi lift irrigation scheme without any allocations in place.
