Meanwhile, Telangana has taken a firm stand on the revised project. Irrigation Minister Uttam Kumar Reddy announced that the state will file objections in the Supreme Court against the Polavaram–Nallamala Sagar proposal. He said that Andhra Pradesh ignored Telangana’s water concerns, and therefore legal action became necessary.

Additionally, the Telangana government requested senior advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi to argue the case in the Supreme Court. The minister confirmed that Singhvi agreed to represent the state. This step signals a more aggressive approach to protecting Telangana’s water rights.

Furthermore, Telangana Bhavan in Delhi will host a preparatory meeting tomorrow at noon to discuss the strategy for the case. Later, at 2:30 PM, Uttam Kumar Reddy will meet Singhvi to finalise the legal plan. The government aims to prevent any project that impacts Telangana’s share of Krishna river water.

Recently, the AP government issued a tender notice for the preparation of a Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the Banakacherla link, aimed at connecting the Polavaram canal network with Rayalaseema irrigation systems. Telangana, however, has expressed strong reservations, arguing that the project could affect its water share and basin balance.

The GRMB’s letter seeks clarification on the current progress, objectives, and water utilization plans related to the project before allowing further steps. The issue may be taken up for discussion in the next board meeting between the two states.

According to Reddy, KTR changed his stance on the Almatti Dam issue many times. Therefore, citizens are left uncertain about his actual position. He argued that leaders must stay consistent on water issues that directly affect farmers. Telangana Congress’s Sama Ram Mohan Reddy slams KTR over Almatti Dam not only for his remarks but also for what he described as BRS’s failure to protect Telangana’s water rights.

Moreover, Reddy stressed that Almatti Dam plays a crucial role in Telangana’s irrigation prospects. He alleged that the BRS government did not act strongly enough in talks with neighboring states. As a result, Telangana farmers suffered during drought years. He promised that Congress would fight to secure a fair share of water and protect agricultural interests.

The Ghajini remark made the debate sharper. Reddy claimed KTR’s frequent contradictions resemble a leader who forgets his own words. In fact, he said such behavior erodes public trust. Congress leaders insisted that this pattern exposes BRS’s weak governance and declining credibility.

Meanwhile, BRS supporters dismissed the comments as baseless and politically motivated. However, Congress cadres quickly used the controversy to rally workers. With Assembly elections approaching, the Almatti Dam row will likely remain a flashpoint. Therefore, both parties are expected to intensify their attacks in the coming weeks.
