Two Telugu State CM's Meeting - What's Cooking?
Inclusion of polavaram flood zones (7) in Telangana:
• Fact: These zones were merged with andhra pradesh (AP) by the central government through an ordinance in 2014, creating a divide between telangana and Andhra Pradesh.
• Fact: The coastal area isn't mentioned in the Partition Act. The existence of the coastline was known during the telangana movement but wasn't requested at that time.
• Fact: This demand isn't in the Partition Act. It's a new request, raising the question of how such ports can be shared.
• Fact: Not mentioned in the Partition Act and geographically not within Telangana's data-borders. Sharing a temple isn't feasible.
• Fact: According to the Bachawat Tribunal, water distribution in india is regulated. telangana seeks an international water distribution principle, which isn't applicable here.
• Fact: telangana already receives 299 TMC of krishna water. The Bachawat Tribunal indicates that granting more would leave ap arid.
• Fact: The reasons and methods for these arrears aren't explained in the Partition Act. The demand for funds relates to electricity used during the united ap period. Only post-2014 arrears are mentioned in the Partition Act.
• Fact: telangana owes ap Rs.5700 crores for electricity used between 2014-15. This suggests a strategy to delay payment.
None of Telangana's demands are included in the Partition Act. These demands emerged during the kcr government's tenure, aiming to pressure Chandrababu's government. Consequently, the unresolved issues in the Partition Act remain, making these demands unattainable.
