DELAY IN POLAVARAM WORKS Ambati dares CM for debate

Former minister Ambati Rambabu has dared Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu for a debate on the delay in Polavaram project works.
Speaking to the media at the party central office in Tadepalli on Saturday, the Former Minister emphasized that the delays and increased costs were caused by mistakes made during Naidu’s tenure and called for the swift completion of the project to benefit the people.
Ambati Rambabu flayed Naidu, stating that although the project was to be completed by the Central government, Naidu took over and handled it poorly. He stated that Naidu’s tenure saw strategic mistakes and hurried actions, which led to the collapse of the diaphragm wall and that was the primary reason for the delay in the project, and that his government had consistently tried to clarify it.
The ex-Minister lambasted that Chandrababu and his followers blamed the then  Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy for the collapse of the diaphragm wall, but he denied this, stating it was actually due to Naidu’s lack of understanding and strategic mistakes, which caused delays and higher costs.
“Discussions had been held about whether to repair or rebuild the diaphragm wall.  During the YSRCP regime,  a conclusion was reached with the help of international experts, and it was determined that the diaphragm wall had been damaged over a length of 485 meters. This assessment had been made and the final report was submitted to the Central Water Commission on August 12 th,” Ambati Rambabu revealed.
The former minister shared that the report was clear and outlined the events that occurred during different periods. He reiterated that the diaphragm wall should have been constructed only after diverting the river, a point now confirmed by the expert committee. He stated that Naidu made a strategic mistake by starting the spillway and diaphragm wall construction simultaneously in 2016. According to the expert committee, this should not have been done, he noted.
Ambati further mentioned that the expert committee had confirmed that the foundation.
