Andhra Pradesh will raise its voice on the special status that has been pending since the state bifurcation and the pending issues that were supposed to reach the state under the AP Reorganisation Act, 2014. The issues that went unresolved would be raised at the meeting reportedly.

It has been widely reported that Andhra Pradesh will also raise the issues like asset division and the payments the state has to receive for various projects. The divided state will use this as a good opportunity to fight for the issues that deal with the interests of the state.

As the river boards have taken the reservoirs in the two Telugu states under their purview, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana are likely to highlight their concerns and give their take on the same. The Andhra Pradesh government is likely to push for the demand to take the Jurala irrigation project under the purview of the Krishna River Management Board.
