Polavaram Controversy: Allegations of Downgrade and Political Motives

Senior YSRCP leader A Rambabu accuses the Andhra Pradesh government of undermining the Polavaram project for financial gain. He claims CM Chandrababu Naidu's mismanagement has led to chaos, reducing the project to a mere barrage. Rambabu vows to fight for justice, alleging political motives behind project downgrades.

Senior YSRCP leader and former minister A Rambabu has publicly accused the Andhra Pradesh government of harming the Polavaram project for financial commissions, claiming that the state's actions have allowed the Centre to lower its significance.

Addressing media representatives, Rambabu argued that Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu has mismanaged what is considered the lifeline of Andhra Pradesh by taking selfish decisions, effectively turning Polavaram into an endless saga. He further alleged Naidu has treated the project like a personal ATM, creating chaos due to his faulty execution strategies.

The opposition is gearing up for a struggle to ensure justice, as Rambabu alleged that past oversights in construction resulted in damages during floods. With claims that the Union government is withholding funds to prevent political advantage for former CM YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, the controversy is poised to catalyze political tensions in the state.
