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.
