HYDERABAD: Issues such as sharing of river waters, power, common admissions into professional colleges, vesting Governor with power over law and order in Hyderabad, which have become a bone of contention between Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, are likely to get the attention of Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday.
