Alleging that late chief minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy had adopted softer attitude towards construction of Babli project by the Maharashtra government, TDP senior leader and newly-elected Rajya Sabha member Devender Goud has reminded that his party alone had successfully obstructed the construction of the controversial project.
Speaking to media persons in NTR Bhavan here on Sunday, Devender Goud proclaimed that his party would extend all out support in bringing national status to the Chevella-Pranahitha Irrigation project. Accusing the ruling party of conveniently converting
“Jala Yagnam” into “Dhana Yagnam” (money minting), Devender demanded that the State government convene an all-party meeting to discuss the signing of agreement on the Chevella-Pranahitha project by both the Congress governments.
Bemoaning that not a single drop of water was brought to use even after spending a whopping Rs 60,000 crores on the Chevella-Pranahitha project, the TDP leader alleged that the ruling party leaders had pocketed several crores of rupees in the name of the Polavaram project. (NSS)
