YSRCP and TDP Dispute Over Handri-Neeva Canal Project Progress and Management
YSRCP leaders protested the alleged neglect of the Handri-Neeva canal system, accusing the NDA government of reducing its capacity and poor execution that compromised Rayalaseema's irrigation. They demanded expansion to 11,500 cusecs and a probe into irregularities. The TDP, represented by Finance Minister Payyavula Keshav, countered these claims, asserting that the YSRCP neglected the project during its term and halted progress, praising the previous government's efforts to advance the canal works.
