Jana Sena Party (JSP) president Pawan Kalyan on Monday said that Alluri Seetharamaraju district with Paderu as its headquarters was created by ignoring the voices of the Polavaram irrigation project evacuees, political parties, local communities, and civil society.
“The decision is posing challenges for the tribes living in the erstwhile East Godavari Agency. No stakeholder was consulted by the Andhra Pradesh government prior to the release of the draft pertaining to carving out Alluri Seetharamaraju district,“ a release quoted Mr. Pawan Kalyan as saying in Monday.
The JSP president pointed out the inconvenience the tribal people from erstwhile East Godavari Agency, a majority of them are Polavaram project evacuees, have been facing while going to the district headquarters.
