TDP allegations baseless: YSRCP - Sakshi Post

YSR Congress has said that the proceedings of the winter session of the Andhra Pradesh Assembly were not held in the true democratic spirit but had witnessed the treasury benches hoodwinking all norms and using the valuable time to level baseless allegations and try to hijack the YSR schemes.

Speaking to reporters in Hyderabad on Wednesday YSRCLP Deputy Floor Leader Jyothula Nehru said: “we condemn the baseless allegations leveled by the treasury benches and the manner in which the proceedings were conducted with the Leader of the House playing truant.

The allegations leveled by Chief Minister that YSR Congress is not interested in the capital formation at the specified place and the Party is against the welfare of Rayalaseema, more so in terms of irrigation, are totally baseless and we condemn the attitude of Chandrababu Naidu.

Our Party is not against the capital coming up at any place, we only wanted to highlight some of the lacuna in the Capital Region Development Authority (CREDA) Bill. This was projected by the treasury benches as if we are against the capital coming up in the specified place which is totally false and our stand has been that the capital should be centrally located and it should benefit all sections of people.

On the Rayalaseema issue, TDP government has been trying to hijack YSR schemes and put its seal on a new format. The State suddenly bringing up the Pattiseema lift irrigation scheme into the picture with a plan outlay of Rs 1,300 crore is only a gimmick and is in no way useful for the Rayalaseema as the flood waters in Godavari will be for a brief period. The aim of the project is to pump flood water from Godavari to Krishna basin though Polavaram right bank.

Such unproductive measure will strengthen the argument of the neighbouring states on the Polavaram dispute and goes against the State interest; he said adding that the amount should instead be used to build a balancing reservoir to benefit Rayalaseema. The TDP Government should mount pressure on the Centre and complete Polavaram project instead of going for such unproductive schemes, he said.
