Polavaram Row : CM Serious over Central Govt Behaviour

Amaravati : Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu has issued a serious warning to alliance partner Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) over its promises to the truncated state of Andhra Pradesh. Speaking over Polavaram National Irrigation Project that is promised by the Central Government to construct it fully for the debt-laden state, CM said in Assembly that "The Centre has not kept its promises as per the AP Reorganisation Act 2014. I'm a positive person who see things hopefully, hence, I'm waiting for them to keep their promises. Since BJP is our alliance partner, I'm acting with patience. If the Centre asks to stop the tenders of Polavaram Irrigation Project, we'll stop it immediately."

Experts opine that AP has given a raw deal during the bifurcation of the state that carved out Telangana with Hyderabad as capital. On the other hand, AP is struggling to build a world-class capital Amaravati from the scratch.CM's statements are expected to irk BJP and may put them in trouble both morally and politically. Already, there is a wide perception in people of Ap that BJP is hardly bothered about the progress of AP.
