YSRCP Slams Chandrababu For Politicising Rayalaseema Water Issue Jul 22, 2021, 08:57 IST
Kadapa: Government Chief Whip G Srikanth Reddy slammed opposition leader Chandrababu Naidu for politicising Rayalaseema irrigation issues and said he has no moral right to speak on the issue, as he couldn’t complete a single project in his tenure.
Addressing a press conference here on Wednesday, he said that Chief Minister YS Jaganmohan Reddy has been trying to solve the Rayalaseema water issue by bringing in a lift irrigation scheme and instead of supporting the State government, Chandrababu is speaking in favor of Telangana. He said that Chandrababu Naidu failed to complete even a single irrigation project in his administration, which resulted in the current crisis of losing the legal share of water allocated. The TDP, which was in power from 1994-2004, has done a lot of injustice to the State by not undertaking any project.

Amaravati: Water Resources Minister Dr Anil Kumar Yadav came down heavily on TDP Chief Chandrababu Naidu for trying to create rift among the regions for his political gains.
Speaking to media at party central office here on Monday, the Minister said TDP leaders of Prakasam district had written a letter seeking to drop the proposal to increase the capacity of the Rayalaseema Lift Irrigation Scheme (RLIS) at Srisailam from 44,000 cusecs to 80,000 cusecs only to create rift among the people of different regions.
The Minister said the state government under the leadership of Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has completed the works of Veligonda Tunnel-1 on a war footing and the works of Tunnel -2 will be completed by 2023 and water will be released to Prakasam district and questioned what has Naidu done for the development of the region during his tenure.
