Why Chandrababu Softened Stand On Telangana, KCR? Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, N. Chandrababu Naidu is at sea on why his Telangana counterpart K. Chandrasekhar Rao is not ready now to take power from his state for which he criticized the state left, right and center in the past.

Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, N. Chandrababu Naidu is at sea on why his Telangana counterpart K. Chandrasekhar Rao is not ready now to take power from his state for which he criticized the state left, right and center in the past. Chandrababu Naidu who is now all out to woo his neighbor is crying foul and said it is wrong on the part of Rao to say 'No' to power from AP.

"Brother, we are split geographically. But the Telugu community is one at heart and soul and it will remain so," says Chandrababu now. But KCR is in no mood to give in as he has organised to get power from his own sources following struggle and suffering of local crops and industries. He feels that the Andhra Pradesh government and Chandrababu now are coming around as they feel that the water and other issues will go against them with an unfriendly centre ( though BJP is their ally , it will not go out of the way to support the TDP).

The moot question is over the sharing of power from the gas power units for which PPAs were still alive and AP does not want to cancel . The secret behind Chandrababu largess now is that the five gas based projects with PPAs is that though power is not generated fully (due to lack of gas allocation ), the states have to share the payment (dead investment) made all these years to the IPPs. Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao on Tuesday castigated AP for being quarrelsome and said Telangana no more requires power from AP. “Even if AP gives, we won’t take it,” he made it clear.

handrababu says that he had compromised in the EAMCET and the Nagarjuna Sagar dam issues, I have no ego problem. At the same time, I will not compromise on the rights of the state. The Andhra Pradesh CM wants to work out a formula with the mediation of the Governor or at the Central level.

Now, one has to see if KCR will come down and join hands as he has been driven to the wall, last summer with an adamant AP and Chandrababu to share power or even let power pass through their transmission lines.
