Telugu Desam Party (TDP) national president N. Chandrababu Naidu has accused the YSRCP government in Andhra Pradesh of having miserably failed to add a single reservoir into the State’s network of irrigation projects.
As part of his State-wide tour of the unfinished irrigation projects titled, ‘Saguneeti Projectula Vidhwamsampai Yuddhabheri’, Mr. Naidu addressed a public meeting from an open-top vehicle at the Jammalamadugu town circle on August 2 (Wednesday), when he observed that not a single acre had been added to the existing ayacut.
“While the erstwhile TDP government had spent nearly ₹12,000 crore on the irrigation sector in the Rayalaseema region, the incumbent YSRCP dispensation hardly spent ₹2,000 crore, thus failing to ensure completion of the projects on time,” Mr. Naidu said. He accused the State government of splurging the funds meant for vital sectors for short-time gains and with an eye on the ensuing elections.
