The AP High Court single bench already issued stay order to the Jaganmohan Reddy government on the re-tendering process of Polavaram hydel project. Later, the government appealed against this order before a division bench which posted the case hearing for September 4. As of now, the case is pending before the court. But the AP government went ahead with the re-tendering process by inviting e-tenders online.
This has triggered discussions among the political and official circles on the bold intentions of Jagan Circar. Legal experts say that the government’s action is in violation of the court orders. This will attract the contempt of court sections. The orders of the single bench will remain in force until and unless they are reversed by the division bench. Official circles say that the government does not want to waste time which is why it has gone ahead with tender invitations.
On the other hand, there is no update on the decision of Union Jal Shakti Minister Gajendrasingh Shekawat on the report of Polavaram Project Authority. Shekawat has been opposing reverse tendering on Polavaram project from the beginning. The Central government has given a clean chit to Navayuga Company but Jagan Regime continues its allegations of irregularities in this project during TDP rule.
