Former Union Minister and Congress Working Committee special invitee Chinta Mohan on Tuesday accused the YSRCP government of pushing the State into darkness.
At a press conference, the senior Congress leader said Andhra Pradesh was lagging behind many other States in terms of development. “Nobody is happy in this crisis-ridden State. Construction of the capital city has come to an abrupt halt, while disgruntled farmers have hit the road seeking justice. Women’s safety continues to be a matter of grave concern, while work at the Polavaram project has not made any headway. The promised Special Category Status (SCS) has also proven to be elusive for the State,” Mr. Chinta Mohan said.
He said income inequality was widening. “The government is further contributing to the chasm by handing over mega projects to corporate firms like Adani,” he said.
