He said that, "Union Govt had disbursed around Rs 6700 Crores for last 5 years for Polavaram. Now, Rs 3000 Crores were announced to release. We got these funds without mentioning it in the budget. Like that AP will get funds for Polavaram. Some persons are raising a question that allocations were made for North Eastern States. This was so because there is separate ministerial department is in existence for those States."
