Irrigation projects in State are moving at a snail’s pace, says Veerraju
BJP State president Somu Veerraju on Sunday said that the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) and Telugu Desam Party (TDP) governments had failed in developing the capital city, which was desperately needed after the State bifurcation, adding that there had been no desired progress in the irrigation projects, particularly Polavaram, for which the Centre had given ₹13,000 crore so far.
“The BJP will expose these failures of successive State governments while throwing light on what the Central government has done for the State,” he said, while participating in a workshop organised for the members of the party’s social media on Sunday.
