Amaravati, May 7: Irrigation Minister Ambati Rambabu said Naidu tried to mobilize people for his meetings to increase his political graph which is on decline and to revitalize TDP and he slammed a section of media for highlighting his tour though it was a failure.
Speaking to media at party central office here on Saturday, the Irrigation Minister referred to the challenge of Naidu that the latter would quit politics if it is proved that any other state have higher tariffs than Andhra Pradesh and said Karnataka is collecting higher power tariff than Andhra Pradesh and RTC prices are higher in Maharashtra compared to Andhra Pradesh and questioned if Naidu would quit politics. The Minister flayed Naidu for his remarks on anti incumbency on the state government and said there is no anti incumbency and no one is ready to revolt against the state government.
He said Naidu is making comments on alliance with other parties for elections as TDP doesn’t has courage to go alone in next elections and added that Jana Sena is also ready to form an alliance with TDP. The Minister said Naidu has been propagating false information on taxes imposed by the state government as he was unable to bear the welfare governance of Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy and questioned if he had run the state during the previous government without imposing taxes.
In regard to Polavarm project, the Minister said it was the previous TDP government which couldn’t fulfill its promise of completing Polavaram project by 2019. He said diaphragm wall of the project was damaged due to faulty planning and execution of the project by the TDP government and slammed TDP for blaming the state government.
