Andhra Pradesh minister for water resources, Nimmala Ramanaidu, on Saturday, reiterated that the Andhra Pradesh state government would complete the Polavaram Project. He said that the NDA government is committed to complete the project.

The Minister spoke to the media in Delhi on the day. The Minister was accompanying Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on his Delhi tour. The Minister met Union Jal Sakthi Minister C R Patil and requested the minister to help the state government complete the Polavaram project.

He took a dig at former chief minister and YSR Congress president Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy for spreading lies on Polavaram project. He said that experts have examined the project and are yet to submit their report.

He alleged that Jagan Mohan Reddy and his team were spreading false news about the project. The diaphragm wall was damaged due to floods, the minister said. He said that the YSR Congress leaders have spread the same false news when they were in power.

The Minister alleged that the YSR Congress leaders have diverted the funds given by the Central government for the Polavaram Project. They have no right to speak about the project, the Minister said. He also alleged that the YSR Congress leaders were spreading false news to make people believe them. The Minister said that people were not ready to buy the lies of the YSR Congress leaders. That was the reason why they have given just 11 Assembly seats to the YSR Congress, the Minister said.

He wanted Jagan Mohan Reddy to stop spreading false news. He said that Jagan Mohan Reddy would be reduced to single digits in the 2029 general election if he continued to spread false news. He said that people are wise enough to know the facts. The social media is also there to help people to know the facts, the Minister said.

0

Former minister Ganta Srinivasa Rao said that the NDA would win the Visakhapatnam MLC elections. He reiterated that the NDA would capture the seat despite the YSR Congress having a majority in the local bodies.

The former minister said that the NDA had won the standing committee elections in the Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation. The victory would be repeated in the MLC election too, he asserted. He claimed that several YSR Congress local bodies members are ready to join the TDP. He asserted that five YSR Congress corporators from the Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation have already joined the Jana Sena. The other corporators would join the TDP and Jana Sena in the days to come.

He said that the YSR Congress is on the death bed. The party would have to close itself in the days to come. The leaders from the YSR Congress are looking at other parties as they have no future in the state. Even Jagan Mohan Reddy has to join some party or the other or quit politics, the former minister said.

He said that the YSR Congress had threatened the opposition party candidates in the last local body elections. Even after the elections, the local bodies representatives have no power to use in the last five years, he said. They are not happy with the YSR Congress leadership, the former minister said.

Several representatives of the local bodies from the YSR Congress are in touch with the TDP leaders, the former minister said. He said that the TDP would take them all at an appropriate time. However, he said that they would take those who have clean image and not everyone from the YSR Congress.

The NDA government in the state is working to fulfill the promises made during the elections, the former minister said. He said that chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu is working hard to rebuild the state. The state was ruined in the last five years. Institutions were destroyed and the economy was ruined in the state under the YSR Congress government, Ganta Srinivasa Rao said. The present government was setting everything on the right track, he said.

NDA Probes Irregularities in YSRCP’s Power Sector Spending

0

The NDA government is preparing to investigate alleged irregularities by the YSRCP government in the procurement of agricultural smart meters. The state government is planning to conduct a comprehensive audit of purchase bill payments over the last five years under DISCOM.

The YSRCP government had proposed the installation of 18.05 lakh agricultural meters worth Rs 5,692 crore. The contract was awarded to Shirdi Sai Electricals.

The NDA government alleges that the contracted company has made substantial profits without providing proper clarification on the assembly of the equipment. DISCOM even paid Rs 1,828 crore to Shirdi Sai Electricals. As per the agreement, 80 percent of the equipment should be delivered and verified at the executive engineer level within 14 days; failure to do so requires the contractor to be paid the full amount.

After the central government subsidy, the state government’s share of the project cost is Rs 4,069 crore. However, DISCOM reportedly paid Rs 1,828 crore to the company even before work commenced.

Ex-Minister Suresh flays NDA coalition govt

0

Former Minister Adimulapu Suresh came down heavily on TDP coalition government for its recent decisions in the education sector and said that they are aimed at dismantling the reforms and initiatives introduced by the previous YSRCP government in schools which could harm the education of underprivileged students.

Speaking to the media at the party central office at Tadepalli on Wednesday, the former minister said that YSRCP’s reforms are aimed to create a high-standard educational system that is accessible to everyone and urged the coalition government to fulfill its manifesto promises and avoid politicising and disrupting beneficial educational programs.

The Former Minister said YSRCP introduced TOEFL training to enhance English proficiency and improve job opportunities for students and the cancellation of this initiative is detrimental to underprivileged students. He recalled that the parties of coalition government had opposed English as a medium of instruction in government schools, attempting to stop it even through the courts and it continues.

He mentioned that the YSRCP government ensured that even corporate universities allocated 30 free seats to underprivileged students.

He highlighted that the delay in implementing promises like “Amma Vodi” is worrisome, as it affects school and college maintenance, including running water in bathrooms, which could increase dropouts. He asserted that the YSRCP will stand with the people and hold the government accountable if the TDP coalition government fails to implement its promises.

AP Govt proposes inner ring road for Amaravati

0

The NDA government in Andhra Pradesh had proposed an Inner Ring Road (IRR) for Amaravati. This IRR would cover both Amaravati and Vijayawada city. Though it was initially thought that Vijayawada east by-pass road is completed, the IRR for Amaravati could wait for some more time.

However, the government has taken the decision to start construction of IRR for Amaravati as well. This would go 20 kilometers away from the Vijayawada east bypass road. The government plans to take the land from the farmers for the road on land pooling system. Land pooling system was the mechanism that took 34,000 acres of land for Amaravati from the farmers of 29 villages.

The government in 2016-18 had planned an inner ring road for Amaravati. It was planned for a 97.5 kilometers long eight lane highway, along with 180 kilometers long outer ring road. However, the4 YSR Congress government between 2019-24 kept Amaravati project aside and dumped the outer and inner ring roads.

Now, the return of the TDP-led NDA government has once again taken up the outer and inner ring roads plans. The government also plans to provide better road connectivity to Vijayawada, Guntur, Mangalagiri and Tadepalli in Amaravati region. Some villages in Guntur, Krishna and NTR districts would also cover these inner and outer ring roads.

The state government believes that Mangalagiri and Tadepalli would become the halting points for Amaravati. These two towns would be developed in the days to come to become anchor cities for Amaravati in the days to come.

The inner ring road would have eight lanes, with four lane service roads. This would also have a 2.5 meters wide cycle track and another 2.5 meters wide footpath. The state government has started the work on the inner ring road and is likely to initiate the work in January 2025. Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu had directed the CRDA official to prepare the plan for the inner ring road, land pooling and alignment works.
