Andhra Pradesh: Centre will complete Polavaram project if State gives up, says Veerraju

The Union government will complete the Polavaram multipurpose irrigation project if the State government throws up its hand and asks us to execute the remaining works, says BJP State president Somu Veerraju.

Addressing the media here on Friday, Mr. Somu Veerraju, while reacting to Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy’s demand for ₹6,000 crore to complete the project, said, “The State is asking for an advance without completing the works, and it is up to the Polavaram Project Authority and the CWC to look into the progress.”

The TDP government had taken upon itself the task of executing the national project as it longed for commissions and changed the contractor, Mr. Veerraju alleged.
