Governor ESL Narasimhan on Wednesday angered on Telangana and Andhra Pradesh governments for approaching the High Court over the pending assets distribution and Krishna River water sharing disputes between the two states after the bifurcation of united AP.
When the representatives of the two Telugu states headed by TS Irrigation minister T Harish Rao and AP Finance minister Y Ramakrishnudu respectively met the Governor at Raj Bhavan, he reportedly questioned them why the two governments keep locking horns and knocking the door of the High Court even though the AP Reorganization Act has clarified every contentious issue between the two states.
Telangana representatives have then explained the difficulties in resolving water sharing issue following Brijesh Kumar tribunal verdict. They also expressed the intentions of TS govt. in taking over the buildings allotted to AP in the Secretariat for the construction of new state administration office.
The Governor however was not convinced and suggested the leaders to resolve the issues through amicable dialogue. He also offered to mediate between the two states to break the deadlock on contentious issues. Following the soft criticism of the common Governor, the representatives have reportedly left the Raj Bhavan informing that they would shortly return with an action plan to resolve their issues.
