Babu focuses Govt's failure to protect rights of the State

Much to the delight of  Telugu  Desam Party president  Nara Chandrababu Naidu,  hundreds of TDP supporters turned up  in large numbers to express  their solidarity  with their leader  in making the `Maha dharna’ a big success.

Staging a sit-in at the Prakasam barrage,  the TDP chief highlighted the Government's failure to protect the rights of the state over the surplus Krishna water.

Focusing on the Government’s failure  to project the state's point of view properly  before the Krishna Water Disputes Tribunal headed by Brijesh Kumar, former chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu said the projects built by the upper riparian states of Maharashtra and Karnataka were against the principles.  The  construction of  projects by both these states on the river Krishna is  depriving the Andhra farmers of the much-needed water for their crop.  

Reaching the 'Maha Dharna' venue by road from Hyderabad, Naidu addressed  a large gathering of farmers from nearby districts of Guntur, East and West Godavari and Krishna who turned up for the `Maha dharna’.

``We intend to take these issues to the people by  staging dharnas  and  educating the people  on the failure of the  Government  in these  areas,’’ the TDP president  said.
