AP CM YS Jagan Mohan Reddy seems to be in some kind of desperation. Two different stories are running behind this second Delhi trip of AP CM in less than a week span.
Only last week, YS Jagan visited Prime Minister Narendra Modi. But now, once again YS Jagan is rushing to Delhi for a meet with Modi as well as Home minister Amit Shah. Reason claimed by YSRCP circles are, YS Jagan is on to Delhi to invite Narendra Modi for the launch of YSR Raithu Bharosa Scheme, Which is scheduled to happen on 15th of this month.
While the reason said for the meet of Amit Shah is since YS Jagan couldn’t meet the home minister during last visit, this time he has planned to have a meet with him. While this is the story from YSRCP circles, the actual one speculated to be is BJP led Central Government is in plans of backing from funding the Polavaram project.
Polavaram being a national project, YS Jagan altered the contractors with Retendering. Inspite of several warnings from Centre, Jagan Proceeded for Retendering. This was already irking the centre. They have already said, in case of any disturbances due to Retendering, they might pull back from funding Polavaram. Now, it is strongly heard, central government is at the verge of stepping back from Polavaram project. By which, centre would bypass the state government and would directly complete the pending 30% works in Polavaram. As a final try, To pacify the difference, YS Jagan has rushed to Delhi for a meet with PM as well as Home Minister.
BJP high command is well known for their adamant stand over any issue. If they had really decided to pull back from Polavaram funding, Jagan won’t have any fruitful result from this Delhi trip.
