In what is being seen as a surprise move, the Andhra Pradesh government will be supporting the argument of Telangana government at Supreme Court regarding the fresh allocation of Krishna waters among the four riparian states.
This will be strengthening the argument of Telangana, which is insisting that Krishna water be once again re-distributed among four states. While Maharashtra and Karnataka are already opposing the demand saying that water that was allotted to undivided AP should be shared between Telangana and the residuary AP , as per the award finalised by Brijesh Kumar Tribunal in the year 2013.
The case is coming up for hearing in the apex court on January 13. The Centre would be submitting its stand on this question raised by Telangana. The AP government deciding to sail with Telangana would now bring pressure on the Centre.
The recent meetings of Naidu and K Chandrasekhar Rao has reportedly changed the dynamics in the arguments of two states on Krishna water sharing and Chandrababu feels that once the award is opened for a review, then both AP and Telangana will stand to benefit!
