The main opposition Telugu Desam Party (TDP) today urged Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to immediately take steps to stop Maharashtra from fixing gates at the Babli project across river Godavari.
Addressing a press conference here, senior TDP leader E Dayakar Rao alleged that the upper riparian state was going ahead with fixing the gates for the project allegedly in violation of the Supreme court order.At least now, Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy should immediately take up the matter with Dr Singh and ensure that Maharashtra comply with the apex court orders, he added.
The Congress Government had been in ’deep slumber’ for the last five years, allowing Maharashtra to construct Babli and 11 other barrages on a war-footing, he charged, adding as many 15 lakh acres in the districts of Nizamabad, Karimnagar, Warangal, Adilabad and Nalgonda would turn barren.
It was the TDP which brought to limelight the alleged ’’illegal’’ projects by visiting the projects sites in Maharashtra, braving lathicharge and arrests, he added.
