Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has said that the prestigious Poola Subbaiah Veligonda project will be dedicated to the nation well before the Assembly elections.
Speaking after unveiling the statues of former Chief Minister of the undivided State, Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy, and former Darsi MLA Buchepalli Subba Reddy at Chimakurthy in Prakasam district on Wednesday, Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy maintained that the ruling YSRCP would complete the project, the brainchild of YSR to bring Krishna waters to the parched lands in the districts of Prakasam, Nellore and Kadapa, on a war-footing and seek a fresh mandate from the people.
The project, comprising two giant tunnels, had suffered neglect during the previous Telugu Desam Party government with the drilling work taken up only for a distance of 4.33 km of the 18.20 km in the case of the first tunnel and 2.35 km of the 18.80 km in the case of the second tunnel during its term, the Chief Minister said.
