Naidu Offers No Explanation!

Naidu Offers No Explanation!

The nexus between politicians and contractors is all set to undermine the interests of the State once again. At least that is the impression one gets from an article recently carried in 'Sakshi'.

The article alleged that Chandrababu Naidu despite the Centre coming forward to complete the Polavaram project refused to do as he wanted to complete the project himself.

Naidu's version is that the State government will complete Polavaram and present the bills to the Central government and the latter will just have to pay the contractors.

Naturally, the Central government is not amused! if the State government takes over Polavaram, it will have complete control over all aspects of the project including sanctioning tenders and awarding contracts.

If the Center takes over, obviously, the State will have little say in the matter. It is worthwhile noting that in neither of these scenarios does the interests of the people figure.

Understandably, Naidu reacted angrily in the Assembly to the article in 'Sakshi'. Yet, while he came down heavily on YS Jagan for biased journalism and corruption, he did not give a convincing reply either to the allegations levelled against him.
