We make our way through a large, impatient crowd and a beefy security guard into irrigation minister T Harish Rao's office inside the Telangana secretariat in Hyderabad on a Tuesday afternoon. Rao is seated at the head of a long table with a dozen others, including his ministry officials and legal experts. This is not just another day at work for Rao, a tall, mustachioed man always clad in white. You only have to look at the wallmounted television tuned to a Telugu news channel to know why.It is day two of a three-day protest by Andhra Pradesh politician YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, chief of the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP), in Kurnool against Telangana's two large irrigation projects on the Krishna river. The channel is airing footage of Reddy attacking Telangana chief minister K Chandrashekar Rao, better known as KCR, and his Andhra Pradesh counterpart N Chandrababu Naidu. They head the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) and the Telugu Desam Party ( TDP), respectively. Reddy is opposing the projects on the grounds that they will reduce the water available to Andhra, particularly the Rayalaseema region, to which he belongs. Andhra is downstream of both the Krishna and the Godavari from Telangana.
"Naidu and Jagan are playing a political game. What we are asking for is our rightful share of the (Krishna and Godavari) waters based on the rivers' catchment in Telangana," says 43-year-old Harish, who is KCR's nephew. Days before Reddy's protest, Naidu sought the Centre’s intervention in halting Telangana's irrigation projects on the Krishna and Godavari, saying they contravene the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, 2014, the framework for the bifurcation of the erstwhile Andhra Pradesh and the creation of Telangana. Between the two states, Telangana accounts for 78% of Godavari’s catchment area and 68% of Krishna's.
Reddy has claimed the Telangana government has not sought the approval of the Krishna river management board for the Dindi and the Palamuru-Rangareddy lift irrigation projects, two of its largest projects. But Harish rubbishes the charge, saying both projects were conceived in united Andhra and the state is just executing them. "We are not even using 20% of what is allocated to us in the Krishna and the Godavari."
