Tussle over Krishna a drama, says BJP Telangana chief Bandi Sanjay Kumar

HYDERABAD: BJP state chief Bandi Sanjay Kumar on Tuesday said he would jump into Srisailam dam if his allegations against chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao turn out to be false.

Coming down heavily on KCR, Sanjay said the ongoing tussle over sharing of Krishna river water between Telangana and AP was only a drama. “I wrote letters to the Centre on Krishna water sharing. A few days ago, I was in touch with Union water resources minister on the issue, but we do not seek publicity unlike the TRS,” he said at a press conference.

He also alleged that though the Union minister returned the CM’s calls, the latter had campaigned that the Union minister had not called him. “The TRS government is meting out injustice to southern Telangana. Whoever is doing injustice to Telangana should not be spared. If my allegations are false, I will jump into Srisailam. But, if the charges are true, the CM should tender an apology,” he said.

Claiming that he does not want to live for 100 yeas, Sanjau offered to transfer a few years of his lifespan to the CM. “People should realise that the CM had conspired with Jagan Mohan Reddy and earlier with Chandrababu Naidu. All this fighting between the two states is just a stunt,” he added.
