Sonia divided state for political mileage: JC
ELURU:AICC president Sonia Gandhi divided Andhra Pradesh to gain political mileage, said Anantapur MP JC Dikwar Reddy. Speaking to reporters here, he said it would take 50 years for the reorganised state to recover from the loss.
The people of Andhra Pradesh had justly taught a lesson to the Congress for dividing the state by handing a crushing defeat to the party, he said.
Irrigation minister Devineni Umamaheswara Rao said tenders for the Pattiseema Lift Irrigation scheme will be finalised in one week. He said the opposition parties were creating problems as the government was trying to send 8,500 cusecs of water through the Polavaram Right Canal and Prakasam Barrage to drought-hit districts.
He said many unauthorised irrigation projects had come up in Karanataka and Maharashtra due to the ineffiency of the state government. Minister for Agriculture Prattipati Pulla Rao appealed to the teachers to elect the candidates selected by the TDP in the MLC elections.
