# BRS urges Telangana to boycott Godavari river board meet 2026-08-09T05:41:22+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) has demanded that the Telangana government boycott the August 18 Godavari River Management Board (GRMB) meeting, calling its agenda anti-Telangana. BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao said the agenda only protects Andhra Pradesh's interests and accused the Congress government of acting under the influence of Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu. He warned of a mass agitation if Telangana's water rights are compromised. Separately, Telangana is preparing to raise disputes with Karnataka over Krishna river projects at the Southern Zonal Council (SZC) meeting on August 20. The state will also push for national project status for Kaleshwaram and Palamuru-Rangareddy projects. Karnataka plans to complain about Telangana's new projects. The Hindu reports officials are sceptical about SZC outcomes, citing unresolved issues like the subsidy dispute with Andhra Pradesh. ## Coverage - thehindu.com - thehindu.com Tags: Andhra Pradesh water dispute, BRS, Congress government, Godavari River Management Board, K.T.
