Andhra Pradesh CM Nara Chandrababu Naidu slams YSRCP: Alleges threat to singaiah's wife to corner ruling party; announces Rs 250 crore for mango farmers

TIRUPATI: Chief minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu accused the YSRCP of threatening their party worker Singaiah's wife in a bid to corner the ruling party. 'YSRCP has the dubious distinction of being renowned for its murder politics. It was very clear that when their own party worker Singaiah got crushed under the wheels of the vehicle of their party chief YS Jaganmohan Reddy, instead of taking him immediately to the hospital, they dumped his body on the roadside and left him to die', Naidu lamented. Shifting his focus to the mango crisis in the state, particularly in Chittoor district, CM stated that he was scheduled to hold a meeting with all stakeholders concerned and assured that the state govt will resolve the issue and come to the rescue of the farmers. 'We have set aside Rs.250 cr towards extending subsidies for the mango farmers. We have also sought the centre's support on the issue', CM asserted. 'Unlike the previous govt, the NDA govt is committed for the upliftment of the farming community as is evident from our allocations to irrigation in the very first year of the NDA rule in the state. The govt has allocated Rs.3950 cr at one go for Handri-Neeva project alone to ensure every single acre of farmland in the Rayalaseema region of the state gets assured water supply', Naidu asserted. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trending in in 2025: Local network access control [Click Here] Esseps Learn More Undo Meanwhile, CM reiterated that the Banakacharla project in Andhra Pradesh will not harm anyone's interests. 'About 2000 TMC ft waters from the Godavari river are going waste into the Ocean for more than a century now. All that Andhra Pradesh is trying to do is to divert and store about 200 TMC ft waters to benefit the farmers of the state', Naidu asserted and added that he never raised any objections to irrigation projects constructed by Telangana or any other state in the past.
