CM Chandrababu Naidu meets Union Jal Shakti Minister CR Patil for Godavari – Kaveri River Linking Project

New Delhi : AP Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu is busy in his Delhi visit. After meeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he held a series of meetings with several Union ministers. As part of this, the Chief Minister met Union Water Resources Minister CR Patil. It seems that key discussions were held on the interlinking of Godavari-Cauvery rivers. The CM requested the Union Minister to convene a meeting with the CMs of the partner states on the interlinking of Godavari-Cauvery. It seems that the Union Water Resources Department has suggested that the interlinking of Cauvery from Banakacherla is better than the interlinking of Cauvery from Srisailam. Keeping the interests of the country in mind, the Water Resources Department has requested Chandrababu to convene a special meeting with all the states and partner parties. The CM suggested to the Union Water Resources Minister that it would be better if the water is put to use than if it goes into the sea. He said that he has no objection to the central proposal if all the states are convinced. Chandrababu requested that a special meeting be convened for this. It seems that the Union Water Resources Department has agreed to this.
