Chandrababu Naidu Misleading People About Polavaram Project

Hyderabad: Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu is misleading the people of the state regarding Polavaram project and causing huge loss to the state exchequer, YSRCP leader K Parthasarathi said.

Addressing the media on Tuesday, he said the chief minister is misleading the people by constantly changing the amount spent on the project and the progress so far. "Now, he is looking for a new contractor for the project after spending crores of rupees on it," Parthasarathi added. "Chandrababu converted the project into a source of income. He converted the Polavaram project into a commission project," he said. The initial estimate for the project was Rs 16,000 crore which the chief minister jacked up to Rs 50,000 crore without any valid reason, Parthasarathi said. The YSRCP will not stay quiet if the CM continues to increase the cost of the project and mislead the people, he said.
