He said a target was set to divert 80 tmcft of water from Godavari through Polavaram right main canal by completing the works by June. He said Jaganmohan Reddy has been provoking the people of Godavari districts through false propaganda on diversion of Godavari water to Krishna.
The Minister said that the TDP government is determined to complete the Polavaram project by 2018 and no one can stop it. The Minister said that the government is now concentrating on supply of water to Rayalaseema region and giving priority for Handri Neeva and Galeru Nagari projects.

Devineni Umamaheswara Rao flayed the Opposition Leader for making baseless allegations against the government and not extending cooperation for speedy completion of irrigation projects.
