Telugu Desam Party (TDP) national president N. Chandrababu Naidu accused Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy of deliberately putting farmers in harm’s way by ignoring the Pattiseema project.
Addressing a Praja Galam public meeting in Vemuru on Friday, Mr. Naidu alleged that even the Polavaram project, which he said had neared 72% completion under the TDP regime, was neglected by the YSRCP government.
“With my experience of developing Hyderabad, I had given a call to develop Amaravati. Reposing faith in me, 29,000 farmers parted with 35,000 acres of land voluntarily. Mr. Jagan had initially agreed for Amaravati as the capital, but later he deceived the people with his three-capitals proposal, leaving A.P. without a capital,” Mr. Naidu said.
