Coming down heavily on former MLA and Telugu Desam Party(TDP) leader Bandaru Satyanarayana Murthy for saying that Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has vested interest in the Visakhapatnam Port – Bhogapuram six-lane road, Tourism Minister Muttamsetti Srinivasa Rao said that TDP leaders are unable to digest the development activity and that is why they were only indulging in mud-slinging.
Addressing the media here on Saturday, he said that the TDP leaders are busy nitpicking and trying to gain mileage, by giving everything a political twist.
Clarifying the Bhogapuram land issue, he said, “Originally 2,500 acres of land was given to GMR to build the airport. But subsequently, after YSR Congress Party took over the reins of the government, 500 acres was taken back from GMR to build airport related infrastructure on the lines of the Aerocity outside Delhi Airport. But this move is being given a wrong picture by the Opposition.”
