During a social media round table meeting organised by BJP with experts on Monday, the party decided to take up injustice being meted out to Telangana in water sharing with neighbouring Andhra Pradesh.
BJP state chief Bandi Sanjay said that though Bachawat Tribunal had given a clear-cut formula of water sharing between both Telugu states, Telangana did not get its due share.“The time has come for us to demand our share of water with the tribunal,” he said.

Senior BJP leader DK Aruna alleged that CM KCR and his AP counterpart Jaganmohan Reddy have a secret understanding.
Former MP G Vivek said that BJP will fight against this injustice, a action plan will soon be announced with a committee to look into the issues.
