The Telugu Desam Party has questioned the Government caliming that the  majority  of  Jalayagnam  projectsar reeking with corruption. The Tdp  leaders demanded a judicial inquiry into large scale corruption in their implementation of   Jalayagnam prokects.

Addressing a press conference,  the Tdp  leaders observed `` It’s their own  party leaders  who  raised  objections against  the irregularities  in the Jalayaganam  projects.  The Congress Government owes an explanation to the people for the Jalayagnam projects are stinking with corruption.  If the Government is serious, it should face a judicial inquiry.’’

There is  nexus  among the politicians, Government  officials and contractors, so the government should come out with clean hands in this matter, the Tdp  leaders claimed.

They urged the  Government  to cancel  all the contracts to the projects between Yellampally  and Polavaram  and  call for fresh tenders.

In  the past  when we  raised these corruption  charges in these projects, the Congress set it aside saying that we  are politicizing the issue.  Now it’s their own party men  who have leveled charges of corruption  against  Major  Irrigation  Minister  Ponnala Lakshmaiah.

``This  is no more an  internal party squabble.  It is a matter concerned with the public,’’ the Tdp leaders noted.
