Telangana Congress MP says BRS has no moral right on water
Two Indian states, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, share rivers, and sometimes the states disagree about the water.
A politician named Chamala Kiran Kumar Reddy said that another group of politicians, called BRS, has no right to talk about this water problem.
BRS used to be in power in Telangana, but another party called Congress is in charge now.
Chamala is from the Congress party, and he was upset about what a BRS leader said.
That BRS leader, KT Rama Rao, said BRS might start a movement about the water issue.
Chamala said that the people of Telangana already chose to send BRS away in the last election.
He also said that BRS leaders did not go to important meetings where river water is discussed.
Chamala thinks BRS is just telling stories to upset people.
He believes that what BRS says about the water is not true.
Bhongir MP Chamala Kiran Kumar Reddy said BRS has no moral authority to speak on Krishna river waters or the Palamuru Rangareddy project.
Chamala's criticism was directed at BRS Working President KT Rama Rao, who had spoken of launching a political movement over water issues.
The Congress MP alleged BRS leaders skipped Godavari River Management Board meetings convened by the neighbouring state government.
He claimed former Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao met Andhra leaders and acknowledged surplus Godavari water availability.
Chamala accused BRS of creating political sentiment through alleged malicious propaganda about a water understanding between the Congress government and Andhra Pradesh.

Moral authority on water issues
Congress MP's criticism of BRS
BRS has no moral right to speak on Krishna river waters or the Palamuru Rangareddy project because the people of Telangana have politically consigned it to a 'watery grave' in elections.
BRS's defense of its water role
BRS, which says it will launch a political movement on water issues, implicitly defends its standing as a party concerned about Telangana's water rights.
Alleged understanding with Andhra Pradesh
Congress MP's criticism of BRS
There is no legitimate understanding benefiting Andhra; the claim of a deal between the Congress government and Andhra's Chief Minister is malicious propaganda by BRS, and it was BRS leaders under K Chandrashekar Rao who met Andhra leaders and acknowledged surplus Godavari water.
BRS's defense of its water role
BRS suggests that the Congress government and Andhra Pradesh's Chief Minister have an understanding that harms Telangana's water interests.
