  "account": "The Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) party is urging the Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy to safeguard Telangana's river water rights during his upcoming visit to Delhi. A statement released by the party warns the Congress government against any attempts to transfer the water rights to Andhra Pradesh. Former Irrigation Minister T. Harish Rao stated that if Revanth Reddy and Irrigation Minister N. Uttam Kumar Reddy agree to Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu's plans, BRS may launch another people's movement. Rao questioned whether the Chief Minister and the Irrigation Minister would advocate for Telangana's rights before the Prime Minister or remain silent on the matter. He emphasized that Telangana is legally entitled to use 968 tmc ft of Godavari water and stressed the need for the Congress government to secure assurances from the Prime Minister before approving any projects linked to this entitlement.",
