Hyderabad: Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy said that his government is hoping for a positive outcome to the talks held recently with his Andhra Pradesh counterpart Chandrababu Naidu on pending bifurcation-related issues.
In his speech during Independence Day celebrations held at the historic Golconda Fort, he noted that the division of assets between the two states after the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh remained pending for the last 10 years. The issue of sharing Krishna and Godavari river waters was also not addressed.
Asserting that his government was giving priority to the state’s interests, CM Revanth Reddy said it wants to maintain cordial relations with the neighbouring states as well as with the Centre.
The Chief Minister claimed that his government accorded the first priority to revive the freedom that Telangana was deprived of for the last 10 years. “We broke the shackles of physical and psychological slavery. Today, people have the freedom to question the government. A facility was also created to seek suggestions from people to run the people-friendly government,” CM Revanth Reddy said.
Stating that the state government was functioning in the interest of the majority of people, CM Revanth Reddy said the government was ready to rectify mistakes, if any. “We have been maintaining restraint though some forces made false allegations against the government,” he said.
