Veteran Telugu Desam Party leader Gorantla Buchaiah Choudary has alleged that unresolved issues arising from the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh continue even after a decade due to the actions of former Andhra Pradesh chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy and his Telangana counterpart K Chandrasekhar Rao.
Speaking to the media, Buchaiah Choudary described KCR as his junior and labelled Jagan Mohan Reddy a “dictator.”
He accused the previous YSRCP government of completely failing on development, irrigation projects, employment generation and industrial growth.
Defending the proposed Banakacharla project on the Godavari river, he questioned why a downstream state should be objected to for utilising river water.
He alleged that KCR was creating unnecessary controversy over irrigation projects.
Buchaiah Choudary also recalled that both Jagan and KCR had earlier obstructed the resolution of bifurcation-related issues. He said political will and sincerity were essential to settle pending matters.
The TDP veteran said that while deputy chief minister Pawan Kalyan understands the visionary leadership of N Chandrababu Naidu, the YSR Congress Party is attempting to provoke Naidu indirectly through influential figures from the film industry.
He asserted that despite challenges, the TDP-led coalition government would remain stable.
