Andhra unhappy, Karnataka welcomes, (TDP) said injustice had been done Krishna river water sharing award , 2011.
Opposition parties in Andhra Pradesh Thursday reacted sharply to the Krishna Water Disputes Tribunal’s award on sharing of surplus water with neighbouring Karnataka and Maharashtra while Karnataka has welcomed it.
The TDP leaders voiced their apprehension that the award would affect the state’s interests and also hit the irrigation projects taken up across Krishna River.
With the tribunal allowing Karnataka to raise the height of Almatti dam, the opposition party said this would also impact major dams like Srisailam and Nagarjuna Sagar.
Andhra Pradesh was so far free to use surplus water but now even this right has been taken away by the tribunal, said senior TDP leader K. Yerran Naidu.
While the Congress government in Andhra Pradesh has not yet come out with its reaction, the main opposition Telugu Desam Party (TDP) said injustice had been done to the state.

Andhra Pradesh was so far free to use surplus water but now even this right has been taken away by the tribunal, said senior TDP leader K. Yerran Naidu.
He said the verdict would hit the irrigation projects taken up across Krishna on the basis of surplus water. “The state government should own the responsibility for this verdict of the tribunal. It failed to present the state’s case effectively before the tribunal,” Naidu said
Communist Party of India (CPI) state secretary K. Narayana said the tribunal’s award was a big blow to the state.
However, Karnataka has welcomed the verdict. “It is a historic day for Karnataka,” Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa said noting the tribunal had awarded Karnataka 911 tmc of water and allowed it to raise the height of the Almatti dam to 524.4 metres from the present 519 metres.
Andhra Pradesh was objecting to the raising of the height of the dam at Almatti in Bijapur district in north Karnataka.
