Pattabhiram slams YSRCP’s ‘smear’ campaign
TDP national spokesman K. Pattabhiram on Saturday slammed the ruling YSRCP leaders for what he called “ruining the reputation of AP FiberNet,” a model project launched during the Chandrababu Naidu term. At a press conference, Mr. Pattabhiram said that the YSRCP allegation of corruption to the tune of ₹2,000 crore in the project did not hold water as the total cost of the project was only ₹770 crore. He said the Chief Minister and his advisers were trying to divert the people’s attention from the failures of the government.More Related News

The clarification follows controversy over the “100-metre” criterion used to define hills across states.
