AP’s Water Resources Department wrote that projects need approval from the CWC, Apex Council and KRMB. The department asked the Centre to stop any new construction until all permissions are completed. Officials claim that these new works may affect AP’s share of Krishna water. They therefore requested the Centre not to grant any approvals for now.

Sources say AP informed the Centre that its interests may face harm if Telangana moves ahead. They also stated that AP expects the Centre to issue clear instructions soon. An official statement from AP is yet to be released.

If the letter is officially confirmed, political circles are keen to see how Telangana will respond. Observers expect the issue to become a major inter-state matter.

Janardhan stated that Congress submitted the manifesto to the Election Commission. However, he noted that the government has not moved forward on the promise. Moreover, he said Congress came to power by highlighting BC reservations, caste census, and the BC Commission report. He also argued that the delay shows neglect toward BC communities.

He said Congress promised to raise BC reservations in local bodies from 23% to 42% within six months. Additionally, Congress said it would provide representation to 23,973 BC candidates. He mentioned that the party also announced sub-categorisation and reservation in civil works. Yet, he claimed that no section of these promises reached implementation.

Janardhan demanded legal action against the Congress Party, CM Revanth Reddy, and PCC chief Mahesh Kumar Goud under the BNS Act. BC JAC leaders Munna Prasanna Kumar, Karnati Yadagiri, Gajji Ajay Kumar, Putta Venkanna, Chilaka Raj Satish, Bharat, Raju, Vijay Chari, Nagaraj and Shiva joined the protest.

They said they had brought the cotton from distant villages at great expense, only to be turned away without purchase.
