Andhra Pradesh Congress (APCC) president Y.S. Sharmila on Saturday slammed the YRS Congress Party (YSRCP) government in the State for “neglect” of irrigation projects.

Speaking after visiting the Kandula Obul Reddy Gundlakamma Reservoir in Prakasam district, Ms. Sharmila recalled that her father and former Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy had completed the project by spending ₹750 crore under the Jalayagnam initiative.

“The project is the source of irrigation for over 1 lakh acres of agriculture lands, and it also supplies drinking water to Ongole town and 12 other mandals in the district,” she said.
