Quality of work was compromised, alleges Kalava Srinivasulu
Telugu Desam Party (TDP) politburo member Kalava Srinivasulu and Kurnool district president Somisetty Venkateswarlu on Friday lashed out at the ruling YSR Congress Party (YSRCP), alleging that the recent crest gate collapse at the Pulichintala project was the result of corruption resorted to by former Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy. At a press conference here on Friday, the TDP leaders alleged that after the Congress government came to power in 2004, it launched the ‘Jalayagnam’ programme, under which the Pulichintala project was the first to be started. “The project was taken up by Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy, and he had termed it his dream project and drew up the agreement in October, 2004. Work began in June 2005. However, the quality of the work was compromised by the introduction of the EPIC model - Engineering, Procurement, and Construction,” Mr. Srinivasulu alleged.
