Jana blames Centre for Polavaram ordinance

Hyderabad, May 29 : Former minister K Jana Reddy on Thursday accused the BJP-led NDA Government of trying to aggravating the problems related to Polavaram Project issue.

Speaking to media persons at his residence here, Jana Reddy said that the Centre took a hasty decision in issuing the ordinance to merge seven mandals of Khammam district with Seemandhra region for Polavaram Irrigation project. Instead of reviewing the problems, the Centre is trying to aggravate them, he said. “The Polavaram Dam is a contentious issue between Telangana and Seemandhra and Centre’s one-sided move would escalate differences between them,” he said.

Jana Reddy accused TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu of blackmailing NDA on the issue. He alleged that Naidu was trying to reap political gains out of this issue.  INN
