State has all the rights to built the project: Minister
The TRS government has expressed its firm resolve to go ahead with the construction of a barrage on river Krishna near Gadwal and dared the Andhra Pradesh government to stop it. The construction of the barrage was one of the half-a-dozen projects in erstwhile Mahabubnagar district which were cleared by the State Cabinet recently in a bid to prevent diversion of river water to AP. It was conceived in the limits of four villages -- Gummadam, Gondimalla, Velaturu and Pedda Maruru -- in Gadwal district. Speaking to media persons on Saturday, Agriculture Minister S. Niranjan Reddy, MPs, MLAs and MLCs from the erstwhile district said the State government had all rights to construct the barrage as per the award of Bachawat tribunal but the AP government had none of them to execute the Rayalaseema lift-irrigation scheme, yet its leaders made tall claims.
