Chandrasekhar Rao. The leaders were led by Nalgonda district president K. Bilya Nayak and they claimed that KCR was responsible for the attack. They have called for a Nalgonda bandh on Wednesday even as the Krishna River Management Board (KRMB) suggested that the two governments of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh sort out the dispute arising due to the power generation in the Srisailam power project among themselves harmoniously.
