* To mount pressure on centre against unjust awarded by Krishna Disputes Tribunal
* Threatens to intensify its fight to protect the state's interests

The Telugu Desam Party on Friday, demanded that the state government take an-all party delegation to New Delhi, to mount pressure on centre & file an appeal against unjust awarded by the Krishna Water Disputes Tribunal, over the sharing of the water from river Krishna. The TDP's demand came after a party meeting held at NTR Trust Bhavan to review the implications of the Tribunal's order on the sharing of Krishna river waters.

Emerging out of the meeting, TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu said the party would intensify its fight to protect the state's interests. Babu said the tribunal had accorded permission to Karnataka, to raise the height of the Almatti dam from 519 to 524 metres. This would spell doom for farmers in Krishna delta and turn the area into a desert.
