-Galla S Kiran Kumar,Bureau Chief Telagana (Andhra Pradesh)
‘This chief minister is incompetent. No plan, no vision. Northern Andhra and Coastal Andhra were betrayed. Has this Chief Minister completed even one irrigation project? Have you visited a single project? Have you done reviews? How much he betrayed the irrigation sector.
Are the gates getting washed away but can’t new ones be installed?
Apologize to the people for not building the projects.
If we drain the water.. you are shedding blood.
In our time cost of Rs. 21,447 crores for Coastal Andhra projects is
Rs. 4,357 crores in Vaikapa government
.
Chandrababu is the leader of TDP who rejected the Vaikapa government
Today-Amaravati ‘This Chief Minister is incompetent. No plan, no vision. Northern Andhra and Coastal Andhra were betrayed. Has this Chief Minister completed even one irrigation project? Have you visited a single project? Have you done reviews? How much he betrayed the irrigation sector. If an incompetent chief minister is the chief minister, the people will be betrayed by looking at the state. Apologize to the people for not completing the projects,’ demanded TDP chief Chandrababu. ‘We have spent Rs 21,447 crore on Coastal Andhra projects in five years under the TDP government. The expenditure incurred by the Vaikapa government was Rs.4,375 crores. We watered the canals and cultivated the siri. Vaikapa government is bleeding. This is the worst government, this is the regime’, he protested. ‘Uttarandhra has been treated with extreme injustice. Here people go to work or migrate. If the projects were completed, Uttarandhra would have become greener. How many projects would have been completed if Rs 47 thousand crores looted in Visakha were spent? He felt how developed Uttarandhra was. He was addressing a press conference at the TDP headquarters in Mangalagiri on Thursday afternoon. Construction of irrigation projects during TDP government, plans to make good use of water by connecting rivers…their implementation has been explained. Vaikapa explained how the construction of projects took root in the government through power point presentation. What did he say on this occasion.. Plans to make use of water through interlinking of rivers.. their implementation explained.

Don’t mind getting washed away?
‘This CM does not care about the projects being washed away. The management of the built projects was also forgotten. Can’t even manage? Can’t even grease the projects? Do you mind if the gates are washed away? Modernization of canals is not being done. Not even a horse’s hoof is removed from the canals. The doors of the projects are rusting. Drains are not properly maintained. The right canal of Polavaram was polluted due to exploitation of all the soil. The Chief Minister of this state can’t do it, nor can the Minister of Water and Drainage. In four years, only four percent of the work was done. I don’t feel ashamed,’ said Chandrababu. What happened to the mineral wealth? GST is coming, many charges have been increased. Where is all that money going? Debts increased to Rs.10 lakh crores. They are bringing debts of Rs. thousand crores by pledging the income of liquor. Why are they not able to construct projects even after taking so many loans?’ He criticized that Jagan has become dictator Kim for this state. He said that all the excavated soil in the Veligonda project is being dumped in the Srisailam reservoir, which is very dangerous. It is said that 96 projects have been pre-closed in Coast Andhra.
Are lawsuits filed against projects?
‘You will win your own cases.. Will you leave the project cases to the wind? Have any cases been lost in the TDP government? Can’t properly fight against Purushottapatnam in National Green Tribunal. If every project is being stayed, what are they doing if there are orders against it?” Chandrababu said. Jagan criticized that if his government took up the plan to connect all the rivers in the state, he abandoned the task. How much good it would be if Vamsadhara, Nagavali, Bahuda connection and Godavari waters were connected there. He pointed out the failures of the Vaikapa government.
