CM wants them to seek immediate flood relief from Centre
Ahead of the Parliament session from Monday (November 29), Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has urged his party MPs to raise the issue of the cost escalation of the Polavaram project to ₹55,657 crore and get the Centre’s approval for it.
In a meeting with them on Friday, he said the State government had spent ₹2,104 crore on the project, which needed to be reimbursed by the Centre. He said the MPs should emphasise on the power, irrigation and water components of the project and directed them to raise all the six major issues that were discussed in the recent Southern Zonal Council meet, in both the Houses.
Referring to the National Food Security Act and its ‘irrational selection of beneficiaries’, Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy reminded the MPs that the Centre owed ₹1,703 crore to the AP Civil Supplies Corporation and another ₹4,976.51 crore for implementation of the employment guarantee scheme.
