Accusing the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) government of neglecting the unfinished irrigation projects, Telugu Desam Party (TDP) national general secretary N. Lokesh has alleged that Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has failed in ensuring water security to Rayalaseema region.
“Many projects are awaiting approvals and funds. The good work done during the TDP regime such as watershed projects, minor and micro reservoirs has not been maintained,” said Mr. Lokesh, after visiting the Gargeyapuram tank in Kodumur Assembly constituency as a part of his Yuva Galam padayatra on May 9 (Tuesday).
He said that the tank was set up during the TDP regime. “The YSRCP government has never focussed on these water projects that are lifelines for the local residents. People living next to the Hundri River have been enduring the shortage of drinking water,” he said.
