Who is Superior? : YS Jagan

• Chandrababu’s statements are surprising
• Babu’s speaking about projects is hilarious
• Babu is behaving like a lashkar
• Chandrababu’s allotments are unjust

Hyderabad:YSRCP president and leader of opposition YS Jagan condemned Chandrababu’s boasting that he had done the construction of the projects that had actually been completed by late leader Dr. YS Rajasekhar Reddy. He commented that Chandrababu’s words regarding the projects were surprising. During the discussion taken up on account of World Water Day in the assembly, he slammed Chandrababu. YS Jagan wondered if the person who built a dam was superior or the lashkar who lifted the gates when water was there.

He exclaimed that it was startling to hear Babu talk about projects like Pulichintala, Pothireddypadu, Polavaram right canal, Thotapalli, Pushkaram, Vamsadhara, Tadipudi, Galeru Nagari and Handri-Neeva. He informed that the estimation of Vamsadhara project was Rs.1242 crore and Babu had spent Rs.44 crore while Dr. YSR had spent Rs.657 crore during his tenure. After the demise of YSR, Rs.138 crore was allocated. Thotapalli project’s estimation was Rs.527 crore, YSR had sanctioned Rs.398.88 crore amd Babu gave just Rs.3 crore during his 9-year tenure. Babu was now boasting to have inaugurated it, criticized YS Jagan.

He went on to reveal the details of the other projects too. Pushkaram project’s estimation was Rs.608 crore, Babu had spent Rs.7.6 crore while YSR had spent Rs.538 crore. After his demise, Rs.61.77 crore was given, mentioned YS Jagan. He reminded that Tadipudi project’s estimated expenditure was Rs.467 crore, Babu spent merely Rs.3.23 lakh and YSR spent Rs.384.64 crore on it. After YSR’s demise, Rs.55.19 crore was sanctioned.

Venkatanagaram project’s estimated expenditure was Rs.124 crore. YSR’s tenure yielded Rs.75.54 crore and post-YSR Congress tenure sanctioned Rs.8.14 crore. Musurumilli project’s estimation was Rs.207 crore and YSR spent Rs.148.97 crore while Congress Government after his demise sanctioned Rs.44.58 crore. Babu had spent absolutely nothing for this project, specified YS Jagan. Estimation of Bhupathipalem project was Rs.146 crore, YSR gave Rs.124.34 crore to it while Babu had given only Rs.4.98 crore. As the ministers sensed the exposure of Chandrababu’s fakeness, they repeatedly stood up to obstruct YS Jagan from going on with his speech.

YS Jagan expressed his displeasure towards the speaker for not providing him microphone. He slammed the Government for issuing GOs 22 and 63 and benefiting contractors in spite of the contractors not needing it and not having the flexibility to raise costs. He criticized that Chandrababu’s allotments were totally atrocious.

He commented that the Government was spending Pattiseema’s funds for Polavaram project and that it was not even in a situation to reveal how much it had spent for Pattiseema till date. If Polavaram project was completed, storage capacity would increase, thus facilitating the storage of water during floods and provision of water during drought. Only then would Krishna delta benefit and Srisailam would have water, stated YS Jagan. He mentioned that Chandrababu’s fund allotment to Galeru Nagari and Handri-Neeva was unjust in every way.
