*Chandrababu staking false claim on Veligonda*

Nellore, August 31: YSRCP has slammed the coalition government for making false claims over the Veligonda Project and said it was the YS family that worked for the project.

Speaking to the media here on Monday, former Minister Anil Kumar Yadav said that Chandrababu's claims that he laid the foundation stone and inaugurated the project are not true.

YS Jagan Mohan Reddy worked for the project even during the Covid pandemic, and it was Dr YS Rajasekhara Reddy and YS Jagan Mohan Reddy who carried out the major works, from digging tunnels to building the dam.

Chandrababu's claims over the project are mere falsehood, as the work done during his tenure was meagre when compared to that of YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, who made major progress even during the pandemic.

Chandrababu is staking claim to all the projects that were nearing completion during our tenure, he said, adding that the Markapuram Medical College issue is also the same.
