Andhra Pradesh Leaders Dispute Credit for Polavaram Project Progress
The Polavaram project credit dispute involves Andhra Pradesh's Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu and YSRCP leaders, including Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy and Y.S. Sharmila. TDP representatives highlight significant project progress during their tenure, citing major canal works and central funding. Conversely, YSRCP leaders argue that key infrastructure and canal developments were initiated under Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy's government, accusing Naidu of overstating his role. Both sides contest the extent of work completed and financial management, reflecting ongoing political rivalry over the project's achievements.
