Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu said the State government desired an amicable settlement of issues with the Telangana government. Addressing the Janmabhoomi meeting at Hussainapuram in Orvakal mandal in Kurnool district on Monday, he suggested that officers of both the States sit together and try to resolve all outstanding issues.
In case of no solution at the bureaucratic level, political functionaries could attempt to iron out the issues, the Chief Minister said. In the event of failure at both levels, arbitration by the Centre or other agency is the only option.
Mr. Naidu said he was putting up with all kinds of humiliations at the hands of the Telangana leadership with the sole objective of salvaging Andhra Pradesh out of problems and protecting the interests of its people.
He also faulted the unparliamentary language employed by the Telangana Chief Minister against him as well as the Chairman of the Krishna water Management Board on the Srisailam issue.
