The fight against the Babli project is the last thing in state government’s priority list, because it has several other serious issues like consequences of removing its tainted ministers from cabinet, T-Congress MPs leaving the party, decedents issues etc. to be addressed first. However, CM Kiran Kumar Reddy has find some time to hold all party meeting at his chamber in secretariat on Monday to discuss Babli project issue.

Ministers Sudarshan Reddy, government whip Gandra Venkata Ramana, TDP leaders Tummala Nageswara rao, Errabelli Dayakar rao, Peddi Reddy, TRS leaders Vinod Kumar and some other leaders from other parties also participated in this meeting. It was decided in the meeting that the government will file a review petition in Supreme Court on Babli project. CM has agreed to lead the all parties leaders to New Delhi to pressurize the Central government demanding to order Maharashtra government to stop further construction activities on the other project lined up behind Babli project. The state government will supervise whether the specially constituted three member committee is safeguarding the interests of the state or not.

Minister Sudarshan Reddy has assured the members of the meeting that the government will intensify its fight against Babli taking expert lawyers help. However, TDP leader Nageswara rao later speaking to media has said “It is of no use fighting now. The dam has been already constructed and what we can do now is assure proper release of waters from the dam.”
