Temporarily, TDP may be facing some sense of setback when it comes to the Pattiseema project, but in the long run sources say that AP CM Chandrababu may be sensing some big gains.
His calculation is that one this project gets ready, it would send a signal that even TDP can build bigger irrigation projects, which would instill confidence among farmers given the mixed feedback regarding farm loan waiver.
Naidu feels that once the waters are diverted to Rayalaseema, the mischief mongering by TS on Srisailam can be offset with these allocations and at the same time, it would be a huge advantage for TDP by 2019 elections.
Naidu is of strong opinion that Jagan factor would be neutralized and at the same if he picks up Polavaram construction, even Godavari delta farmers will be shedding their misconceptions. So it is an instant project with some instant fortunes for TDP.
