TDP reminds CM of his poll promises
Meanwhile, the Telugu Desam Party reminded the Chief Minister of his poll promise made to Prakasam farmers to ensure a price of ₹5,000 per tonne of subabul and eucalyptus. But, the market prices of the logs ruled below ₹1,500 per tonne now.
The Veligonda project, which the Chief Minister promised to complete within one year after coming to power, had not seen the light of the day even after three years now, lamented TDP farmers wing leader K. Venkaiah. It was high time the Chief Minister completed the project early to benefit the people of the drought-prone districts of Prakasam, Nellore, and Kadapa, he added.
