AMARAVATI: Amid the ongoing dispute with Telangana over the sharing of river waters, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu on Monday defended the proposed Polavaram-Nallamalla Sagar link project, saying it will not harm anyone.

He wondered what was wrong with using water released from upstream in the Godavari River and diverting it at Polavaram to Nallamalla Sagar.

“I never objected when Telangana built its projects. Both Telugu states can efficiently utilise the Godavari waters, ” he said.

The Chief Minister was speaking at a meeting with ministers and secretaries at the Secretariat.
