Hyderabad, Jul 21 (PTI) Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister K Rosaiah today rebutted his Maharashtra counterpart Ashok Chavan''s claim that the AP government was not serious in resolving the Babhli irrigation project row, saying it wanted an "amicable and just solution". "May be Chavan''s memory is short. It is not proper for him to say that we are not doing anything on the Babhli issue. We are doing everything in a democratic way to resolve the dispute with Maharashtra," Rosaiah told reporters at the Secretariat here. Maintaining that the AP government doesn''t have any "personal grudge" against Maharashtra, the chief minister asserted that protecting "our state''s interests" over sharing of river waters was their only priority. "We want an amicable and just solution to the imbroglio. I believe in a negotiated settlement," he added. The chief minister said the proposed all-party meeting with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on the Babhli issue has been rescheduled to July 26 from July 23. "We have invited all political parties in the state to send one representative each for the meeting with the prime minister. If TDP wants a larger delegation, let it meet the prime minister separately," Rosaiah said. Ministers Dharmana Prasada Rao, Aanam Ramanarayana Reddy, Botsa Satyanarayana, Ponnala Lakshmaiah and Pitani Satyanarayana were present on the occasion.
