Supreme Court exposes Congress govt.’s negligence on Telangana’s water rights: Harish Rao
T. Harish Rao of the BRS party has accused the Telangana Congress government of negligence regarding the state's water rights in the Godavari–Banakacherla project. He claims the government submitted a poorly drafted suit to the Supreme Court, effectively undermining the state's legal position.
Why it matters
This highlights ongoing political friction and legal disputes over critical water resource management between Indian states.
Former Minister and Deputy Floor Leader of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) in the Assembly T. Harish Rao has alleged that the Congress government had deliberately weakened Telangana’s legal fight against the Godavari–Banakacherla Project, thereby compromising the State’s water interests.
The observations of the Supreme Court in a case related to the Andhra Pradesh’s project filed by Telangana had exposed the government’s negligence and lack of sincerity in protecting State’s rights, Mr. Rao said addressing a press conference at Sangareddy on Monday. He alleged that while AP was aggressively pursuing the Banakacherla project, the Telangana Government was indirectly facilitating it instead of resisting it.
