Expressing concern that irrigation projects across the State have come to a grinding halt due to the “ineptitude” of the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) government, TDP national president and former Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu has said that Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy’s claim to have achieved phenomenal progress in the pending projects is bewildering, given his inability to at least keep the canals in proper condition.
The interlinking of 69 rivers, mainly including the Vamsadhara, the Nagavali, the Godavari, the Krishna and the Penna, would have made Andhra Pradesh a progressive State, but Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy shattered that hope by pushing it (the rivers’ interlinking project) down his list of priorities, Mr. Naidu observed on July 27 (Thursday).
Mr. Naidu was addressing the media on the status of irrigation projects in the coastal districts, at the party office, near Mangalagiri.
