AP government is known to have taken one more hasty decision, that triggered huge criticisms on the party and its top brass. The government has decided to construct a 60-feet long late NTR statue on Neerukonda near Amaravati.
L&T Company, which was assigned the project, has estimated the cost Rs.406 crores on this project. TDP government has allocated 200 acres of land which shocked even party's activists.
Although AP government is asserting that it would form a trust to raise funds for the aforesaid project, people and critics are suspecting if the public money would be wasted abnormally through corruption by the government.
Ironically, the TDP government immensely lambasted PM Narendra Modi's prestigious Sardar Vallabhai Patel's statue project worth of Rs.3500 crores. The BJP government received brickbats from all corners for the project being taken up by them. And now, the AP government is doing the same blunder.
"Moreover, the AP state is being criticised for the caste and religious issues being dominated across the state. At this moment, it would not be fair NTR's statue project is taken up. Instead, the government could implement welfare and development programmes extensively and should win people's hearts prior to the general elections," advised well wishers of TDP government.
