“This is a historic day between Telangana and Maharashtra States as we got into a major agreement”, KCR stated invited Devendra Fadnavis to visit Hyderabad for the next board meeting and have a sumptuous Hyderabad Biryani besides mouthwatering dishes.
The two chief ministers, who signed
the pact and exchanged the documents, have expressed hope that both the States
would benefit from the agreement. “The cause of the statehood fight is now
turning into a reality with Fadnavis’ initiative and thanks to
Maharashtra
Chief Minister”, KCR noted. “Now Telangana
State got ample scope to draw Godavari waters after Mahaarashtra and then will let off
downstream paving the way for Andhra Pradesh to use the same, the Telangana CM
averred. “I had already informed my Andhra Pradesh counterpart N Chandrababu
Naidu that the project deal would help prevent about 2000 TMC to 4000 TMC water
from going waste into the Bay of Bengal. First
we are Indians and we can make use of natural resources without wasting them
and use waters for our needs, irrespective of our States”, KCR further said.
Chandrasekhar Rao said, “It is indeed a great and historic deal resolving the four-decades-long controversial issue of irrigation projects with resolute decision by the Maharashtra government combined with Telangana government. We want to have friendly relations with neighboring States and the previous united AP government had failed to address the problem,” he said, adding that the infant State of Telangana would benefit from this agreement. Water was the major issue in Telangana statehood agitation, he recalled.
