Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao has urged the Central Government to intervene and resolve long-standing issues between Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. These issues have persisted since the bifurcation of the erstwhile united Andhra Pradesh in 2014. Key areas of contention include the sharing of river waters, the allocation of employees, and financial settlements.

During a recent meeting with Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Rao emphasized the need for a swift resolution to these disputes to foster better cooperation and development between the two states. He pointed out that unresolved matters such as the division of assets and liabilities, and the operational control of power projects, continue to create friction and hinder progress.

Rao’s appeal highlights the necessity for a fair and equitable solution, one that aligns with the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Reorganization Act, 2014. He stressed that the Centre’s active involvement is crucial to ensuring both states can focus on their growth trajectories without being bogged down by these legacy issues.
This call for intervention underscores the complexities involved in state bifurcations and the importance of a coordinated approach to inter-state disputes. The resolution of these matters is seen as essential for the stability and prosperity of both Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.
