Congress Rajya Sabha MP Palvai Govardhan Reddy on Friday blamed the legal counsels for not representing the case properly before the Brijesh Kumar Tribunal which allocated the surplus waters to Maharashtra and Karnataka.
Speaking to media persons in the Assembly premises, Palvai said that though Seemandhra region will gain from the Tribunal's decision, it would badly hit the Telangana region.
He said that it is wrong to blame the Tribunal, as the legal counsels appointed by the state government did not represent the case properly.
"Even the counsels appointed during the regime of Dr. Y S Rajasekhara Reddy did not represent the case of Telangana appropriately," he added.
Palvai also said that the Tribunal would be approached again after the formation of Telangana state.
If required, the Telangana government will also approach the Supreme Court of India, he stated.
Speaking about the Telangana issue, the Congress MP said that the Assembly session would begin from December 10 and it will be of 72-hours duration, to debate the Telangana Bill.
He hoped that the Telangana state would be a reality before Sankranthi which falls on January 15.
He alleged that the Seemandhra Union Ministers are still pressurising the GoM and the Centre to stop the Telangana formation process.
However Congress president Sonia Gandhi would complete the process and would do justice to both the regions, Palvai opined. (INN)
