Speaking further he stated that we have no intention of joining issue with any State but want to maintain cordial relations with all the neighbouring States of Telangana, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. We will not interfere in their affairs but some ministers and MLAs of Telangana are making tall statements, he remarked.
When the state was united, the allocations of Krishna waters to the three regions of Rayalaseema, Coastal Andhra, and Telangana were cleared earmarked and it was known to all for decades. After the State was bifurcated there was a tri-partite agreement signed by Centre, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana on June 19, 2015, with clear earmarking of river water allocations.

Training the guns on Chandrababu, the Chief Minister said the TDP leader, who was silent for some time, has started to talk on the issue. " What I would like to ask him is as to why he did not open his mouth when the Telangana Government started Palamuru Ranga Reddy, Dindi and other projects, during his term,'' he questioned. We will not interfere in the affairs of other states and it would be better if the relations between neighbours are good, he said.
