Earlier on March 27, CM Naidu, while reaffirming the importance of the Polavaram project, said that it is the state’s lifeline and that it is the state government’s responsibility to do justice to the displaced who sacrificed everything for the project.
“Rehabilitation of all the displaced will be completed before the water is released from the project. The project will be inaugurated only after that,” Chandrababu Naidu, who is on a visit to Polavaram, said during an interaction with the displaced.
The Chief Minister had inspected the ongoing project works from an aerial view.
The Chief Minister told the displaced that very little compensation was paid to the displaced before the TDP-led NDA came to power in 2014 and stated that after the NDA came to power, Rs 4,311 crores were paid to them.
He remarked, “The party that assumed power in 2019 did not even think about the displaced even once in the five-year term, and there are no indications that it even considered even once the problems being faced by the displaced.” (ANI)
