Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) president N Uttam Kumar Reddy in a press release here said the Chief Minister has "mortgaged the interest of the state by deciding to shift the main project from Thummadihatti to Medigadda".
"This will cause a huge loss to the interest of Telangana farmers. We will convene an expert talk and discussion on 'Pranahita Chevella/Kaleshwaram project' at 3 pm on Friday at TPCC Headquarters, Gandhi Bhavan," he said.

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Rao signed the agreements facilitating construction of three barrages with a total storage capacity of 19 tmc (thousand million cubic ft) of water.
