Has Telugu Desam Party president and AP Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu been focusing more on the Telangana issues only to cover up his failures on the development of Andhra Pradesh?
This has been the topic of discussion among the political circles in both the States. According to analysts, Naidu has been targeting issues concerning the Telangana State, particularly the Palamuru Lift Irrigation Scheme or Section 8, rather than concentrating on issues concerning AP such as capital formation or fee reimbursement scheme or drought situation or municipal workers strike.
While Naidu wrote a letter to the Centre opposing the Palamuru Lift scheme in the past, on Friday, his party MP C M Ramesh also raised the same issue with the Centre stating that it was an illegal venture.
He demanded that the Central Water Commission should intervene and stop the project.
Political analyst V Prakash said Naidu was indulging in creating hurdles to Telangana development by one conspiracy or the other.
Naidu’s efforts are aimed at diverting the attention of the people of AP from crucial issues so that he could get away with his failures, Prakash observed.
