Six-Time MP Rayapati Sambasiva Rao made some sensational comments during the Peddagottipadu Jilla Parishad High School function on Thursday night.
Rayapati said: "I planned a Water-Grid Project costing Rs 1,120 crore to address the drinking water issued in Macherla, Vinukonda and Gurajala villages. But, CM told me about the lack of funds when I discussed the proposal with him. There is a possibility of receiving funds from Centre. Whenever I raise my voice before Delhi Leaders for funds, Chandrababu Naidu is warning me not to do so. I even spoke with Bankers for loan with a interest rate of 9.6 percent for 10 to 15 years term, but CM is firm on his stand of 8.5 percent interest rate".
The Senior MP claimed he was unable to mount pressure on Centre for Guntur Railway Zone only because of the Chief Minister. 'I was unable to adjust in Telugu Desam. Rathayya garuâ¦How were you able to continue in the party for so long?,' he questioned former Minister Maakineni Peddarathayya who was sharing the dais.
Lastly, Rayapati clarified he made these remarks off the record and urged media persons not to publish them.
