The former Union Minister said that the government released Rs 2,500 crore for Amaravati capital construction. Responding to a question on no fund allocation for capital construction in the Union Budget 2018-19, she asked the State government as to how the Centre could release funds without submission of detailed project report and plans.
She said that the State government did not submit properly even utility certificates. She found fault with the State government for the slow pace of execution of underground drainage works.
The Centre was implementing the provisions in the AP Reorganisation Act one after another she said and added that different political parties were trying to tarnish the image of the BJP. The Centre is committed to development Andhra Pradesh, she added.
