Bharatiya Janata Party Andhra Pradesh unit president Somu Veerraju on Thursday alleged that the State government had completely ignored the construction of irrigation projects of the North Andhra region although they would require only around ₹2,000 crore for their completion. The YSRCP administration had focused only on the so-called welfare schemes while ignoring the long-term development of the North Andhra region, he alleged.
Along with party senior leaders Daggubati Purandeswari and P.V.N. Madhav, he formally launched ‘Jalam Kosam Janaporu Yatra’ in Srikakulam to step up pressure on the government for the completion of pending projects in Srikakulam, Parvatipuram, Vizianagaram and Anakapalle districts which are part of the North Andhra region.
