Padayatra launched by Congress Leaders at Dowleswaram on 7th of January has ended at Polavaram. They visited project site to have a look at the spillway and diaphragm wall construction works.
AP Congress Chief Raghuveera Reddy: 'During Congress rule, TDP criticized us for digging canals without completion of the construction work. Will TDP be able to bring Godavari water to Krishna Delta using Pattiseema had if we hadn't done it? At least now, CM should focus on construction work rather than publicity. We will fight for the welfare of people who got affected by Polavaram'.
Congress MP KVP Ramachandra Rao: 'YSR realized the importance of water during his Padayatra and begun many irrigation projects including Polavaram. Had if YSR was alive, Polavaram project would have been completed long back. Allegations that I am obstructing Polavaram are false. I just approached the court to ensure Centre bears entire project cost as per AP Reorganization Act 2014. If TDP can prove that I am trying to stop Polavaram, I am ready to resign as Rajya Sabha MP close to 2-and-a-half years before the end of my term and I won't even place my foot in AP again'.
Tulasi Reddy opined Chandrababu Naidu claiming Polavaram is his dream is the funniest thing to happen. He stressed Congress alone have patent rights over Polavaram.
Former Union Minister JD Seelam: 'Centre and State Governments spent just Rs 7,000 crore for Polavaram so far. At this rate, It would take another 20 years to complete Polavaram'.
