TDP calls YSRCP’s allegations on Handri-Neeva works baseless

Andhra Pradesh Finance Minister Payyavula Keshav says that the YSRCP, which has lost public support, is struggling for relevance and levelling baseless allegations that the Handri-Neeva canal works have been neglected by the NDA government.

On the day when the YSRCP organised ‘Chalo Cholasamudram’ to highlight the alleged neglect of the canal works by the government, Mr. Keshav, along with Rayadurgam MLA and Chief Whip Kaluva Srinivasulu, inspected the ongoing works at Uravakonda.

Speaking to the media later, the Minister alleged that the YSRCP, which had completely neglected the Handri-Neeva project during its five-year term, was now staging a political drama under the guise of inspecting the canal to mislead the public.

The Finance Minister noted that the expansion works had progressed rapidly between 2014 and 2019 due to the initiative taken by Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, with approximately 35% of the work completed by 2019.
