Reportedly experts say that had Dr YSR been alive, the project would have been completed and would have proved to be the boom that it was meant to be to the farmers of Andhra Pradesh. Earlier the prime minister also said that he wanted to make Andhra a sunrise state but Babu was busy promoting his son for son-rise. Furthermore TDP supremo tried to turn the Polavaram project site into a tourist spot by ferrying people from across the state at the expense of the exchequer. Meanwhile he promised to complete the project in three years and as elections got closer, pushed the deadline to the end of the year in a fresh attempt to deceive voters.
Furthermore Chandrababu Naidu, who hiked the costs of the project beyond reasonable standards, only peddled falsehoods with regard to completion of the project. Further it must be pointed out that Polavaram project was meant to be a central government project at the time that the state was bifurcated.
Reports added Chandrababu insisted on the state government taking up the project and what followed, as YSRCP leaders have pointed out several times, is a saga of corruption without any progress on the project itself. On June 20th AP CM jagan reviewed the progress of the project and pending works before setting a timeline and deciding on the future course of action.
