Hyderabad: Demanding the completion of Polavaram on a war-footing, YSR Congress has said that the Pattiseema has been a deception in the name of inter-linking of rivers.
"Inter-linking of rivers through Pattiseema is a waste of public money and it does not serve the intended purpose with faulty workmanship and we demand to expedite Polavaram which will benefit the people of Rayalaseema and Krishna delta," party spokesperson Perni Nani told reporters here on Monday.
Pattiseema is not a permanent solution and lots of money and Gadavari water has gone down the drain into the sea. It is not interlinking of rivers and the work on aqueducts seems to be semi-finished though the project was declared open and dubbed as a historic event.
"It is only a showmanship but in reality there is hardly any benefit from the Pattiseema project while the benefits of Polavaram are permanent in nature which is why YSR has put in major efforts to bring the project to a take off stage.
But the TDP Government instead of completing the Polavaram has taken up Pattiseema in a hurry it seems to be a hotchpotch affair from the construction point of view," he said.
"We demand that Pattiseema should be put on hold and Polvaram should be taken up with all earnestness," he said.
