Hyderabad: The YSRC raised the Rayalaseema bogey and alleged that the TD government was neglecting the Rayalaseema region.
Speaking to media on Friday the party MLA from Kadapa Mr G. Srikanth Reddy lamented that only the TD will have the dubious distinction of dedicating irrigation projects to the nation without water and the Pattiseema has absolutely useless for Rayalaseema.
The YSRC leader alleged that Pattiseema benefitted only the contractors without going into the core issues of water to Seema from Nagarjunasagar to Srisailam and thereon remains as a disappointment to the people of the region.
Reiterating that TDP Government has been totally neglecting Rayalaseema region, YSR Congress has said that the State has been encouraging large scale irregularities in the bidding process for irrigation projects.
“Pattiseema is serving as a publicity mascot for the TDP Government which has been encouraging irregularities in the bidding process. Polavaram, which was designed and the lengthy process of discussions and sanctions were cleared with YSR at the helm would have been the ideal one for Rayalaseema ,”he opined.
He demanded that TD government should maintain the minimum level at Srisailam and both States have dried it up last year .
He alleged TD have been actively involved in getting the tenders to the favoured few and are directly talking to other contractors to withdraw and the work is being allotted not on bidding but on nomination basis.
Srikanth Reddy said ‘we stand for the betterment of Rayalaseema and will fight it out till end and see to it that water reaches the tail-end region, “
