Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) State president Daggubati Purandeswari has claimed that the Union government sanctioned thousands of crores of rupees as financial assistance to Andhra Pradesh but some projects came to a grinding halt due to the State government’s failure to contribute its share of the cost. She asserted that only her party is capable of delivering good governance.
Addressing media persons at Palakollu in West Godavari district on Sunday, Ms. Purandeswari said the Centre sanctioned huge sums for the development of road network and railways in the State, but to no avail as the State was unable to take certain projects forward. Whatever development has taken place in the last nine years was largely due to the cooperation extended by the Union government and funds given by it, she said.
Ms. Purandeswari alleged that the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) was more interested in politics than developing the State and it chose to stifle any voice of dissent. Implication of the leaders of Opposition parties in false cases has become a norm, she said.
