Overview
- After a day-long Assembly debate, Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy warned that if Srisailam clearances are blocked, the state will revert PRLIS to Jurala within Telangana, asserting up to 70 tmc ft can be lifted there after seeking 90 tmc ft at Srisailam.
- Documents tabled by the Chief Minister and Irrigation Minister allege the intake shift to Srisailam increased lifts from three to five, pumps from 22 to 37, and pushed costs from about ₹32,000 crore toward ₹80,000–84,000 crore.
- Irrigation Minister N. Uttam Kumar Reddy pledged completion of pending Krishna-basin projects within three years and said PRLIS still requires land acquisition over roughly 39,000 acres.
- BRS legislators walked out and announced a boycott of the winter session, citing the Chief Minister’s remarks and the Speaker’s conduct during the Musi river discussion.
- On the Musi plan, K. T. Rama Rao alleged inflated estimates, premature demolitions, and a handover to a blacklisted firm, while the Chief Minister told the House the DPR is pending and outlined an initial ₹7,000 crore phase over 21 km with Godavari water diversion.
