BJP state president Somu Veerraju
Says YSRCP govt thinks more about ways to 'loot' public money rather than developing the state
Proddaturu (YSR district): BJP state president Somu Veerraju said that his party will win in Rayalaseema region in the interest of its all-round development.
Addressing a press conference in Proddaturu on Wednesday, the BJP leader alleged that YSRCP government has completely failed to develop Rayalaseema despite abundant natural sources like limestone, manganese, iron ore, red sanders, granite were available there.
While questioning the credibility of YSRCP government for not completing pending irrigation projects like Galeru Nagiri Sujala Sravanthi (GNSS), Handri-Neeva Sujala Sravanthi(HNSS), Sidheswaram project, he said his party would take responsibility of completing pending projects in the region.
"YSRCP is always thinking of ways to loot public money rather than developing Rayalaseema region. Why leaders of Rayalaseema region fail to stand up to the Chief Minister over the issue," he wondered.
