Andhra Pradesh Chief
Minister Chandrababu Naidu on
Tuesday said contentious issues between his State and Telangana can be
resolved through mutual dialogue.
Speaking at a TDP
meeting at Timmapur in the district in Telangana, Naidu said he is ready to
discuss issues with regard to electricity with Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar
Rao to arrive at an amicable solution.
"We will sit and discuss all (contentious) issues. We
should not cause inconvenience to people. Both Andhra Pradesh and Telangana
should march ahead on path of progress," he said.
Naidu said he expects positive response from his Telangana
counterpart on his offer of dialogue to resolve all outstanding issues arising
out of bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh last year. These issues relate to sharing
of Krishna river water, Labour Department funds and power among others.
He appealed to his party workers to support BJP candidates in
the upcoming Council elections. BJP is part of the TDP-led Government in Andhra
Pradesh.
"I am sure that Telugu Desam would come to power in 2019
elections (in Telangana)," Naidu said, seeking to boost the morale of his
party cadres in the newly formed State, where Rao-led TRS is currently in
power.
He claimed Telangana enjoys surplus budget due to the
development work he undertook during his tenure as Chief Minister of undivided
Andhra Pradesh (1995 to 2004).
