‘Telangana is deemed to have given consent for Polavaram project as per A.P. Reorganisation Act’

BJP State president Somu Veerraju said on Thursday the comments being made by Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) leaders on the multipurpose Polavaram irrigation project tantamount to questioning the very formation of Telangana, as the national project was a part of the A.P. Reorganisation Act, to which Telangana was deemed to have given its consent as per Section 90 (3) of the Act.

Addressing the media here, Mr. Veerraju insisted that the project be constructed as envisaged in the Act, and the leaders of both the States refrain from making public statements with political motives.

Mr. Veerraju said the YSRCP that had accused the officers involved in the construction of the project of committing irregularities when in the Opposition gave them key postings after coming to power in 2019.
