KCR also hit out at AP chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu who objected the construction of Thummilla project. "As soon as Naidu raised objection against the project, Irrigation minister Harish Rao also raised concerns pertaining to the Machumarri project construction in Andhra Pradesh and this made Naidu shut his mouth," said KCR.
