Union Minister Bandi Sanjay Kumar criticized the Congress and BRS parties for blaming the central government on the Krishna water issue, accusing them of misleading the public to hide their failures. He stated the Modi government initiated a tribunal for equitable redistribution of Krishna basin waters. Kumar alleged that the previous BRS government deliberately harmed Telangana's interests in water allocation and that the current Congress government's approach to securing funds without a proper project report is inadequate.
