Highlighting the ‘scores of development projects’ taken up by the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) government, Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has appealed to the public to take note of the progress made in terms of milestone projects.
Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy was speaking at the inauguration of the ₹224-crore Lakkasagaram pump house in Krishnagiri mandal of Kurnool district, which is aimed at irrigating 10,394 acres of land in the arid region, besides meeting the drinking water needs of many villages in the region. The project takes water through Handri Neeva Sujala Sravanthi (HNSS) main canal to fill 77 tanks in Panyam, Dhone, Pathikonda and Aluru constituencies.
Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy’s appeal came as part of a fiery tirade against a section of the media for ‘deliberately publishing negative news’ against the incumbent regime, while blacking out developmental projects. “The previous TDP government laid foundation stones just four months before elections without even acquiring the required land. This government, which understands the importance of water for Rayalaseema, has realised your dream,” he said.
