CM ticks off Ministers for not placating oustees

Vijayawada: Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu expressed severe dissatisfaction over the recent developments over the Vamsadhara Irrigation Project in Srikakulam district and expressed his ire on the party leaders including Labour Minister K Atchannaidu for not dealing with the displaced persons properly.

While addressing the TDP co-ordination committee meeting which was held at his residence, here on Wednesday, Chief Minister while referring the issue of Vamsadhara, he said that even though the TDP State president and other leaders hailing from Srikakulam failed to tackle the issue properly.

“While the displaced people of Gandikota project in Kadapa district celebrated after release of compensation G.O.Whereas, in Srikakulam even though the G.O was released in June, the issue remains unresolved.

Our leaders don`t have proper co-ordination. Due to the negligent attitude of some Ministers and officials, the government was forced to seek apology,” CM regretted.

While referring to recent rift between Social Welfare Minister Ravela Kishore Babu and Guntur ZP Chairperson SK Jani Moon, the TDP supremo fumed over the acts of indiscipline of the Minister.
