Why didn’t Naidu raise Babli issue when he was the CM?

Maharashtra Home Minister R R Patil today questioned TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu’s stance over the Babli barrage row.

“Why didn’t Naidu raise the Babli issue when he was the Chief Minister?” Maharashtra is being held to ransom for Telangana bypolls,” he said.

Describing Naidu’s botched visit to the contentious barrage in Nanded district as a political stunt, Patil told reporters here this evening that when he was Andhra CM, he never felt like visiting the irrigationproject site area.

“Naidu never felt like discussing the issue nor did he go to court. He never took any stance. The whole drama is being enacted keeping in mind Telangana bypolls,” Patil said.

If he is so keen to resolve the issue, he should first stage protests on Andhra soil, Patil said.
