Congress Rajya Sabha member K. V. P. Ramachandra Rao has suddenly become very close to Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao because he is interested in becoming Rajya Sabha Member a second time, Andhra Pradesh Minister of Water Resources Devineni Umamaheswara Rao alleged.
Addressing the media here on Wednesday, Mr. Umamaheswara Rao said that Telangana had filed a lawsuit in the Supreme Court asking it to stop construction of the Polavaram project because there was a danger of Bhadrachalam, the temple town, and the Manuguru Heavy Water Power Plant, getting submerged. But, Dr. Ramachandra Rao appeared least bothered.
The Minister said that all work at the project site was being done as per the recommendation of the Polavaram Project Authority, the Dam Design Review Committee and the Central Water Commission (CWC) and there was no scope for such events as alleged by Dr. Ramachandra Rao.
