BJP leader Daggubati Purandeswari’s counter left the TDP leaders speechless. Addressing a special press meet, Purandeswari put Chandrababu and TDP party in a fix. Her comments clearly hinted that it is the TDP government that is playing the blame game, and their no fault of the Centre.

‘Did the Centre ever tell that it will not release or reimburse funds? Telugu people should very well know what the Centre has been doing for Andhra Pradesh. Almost all the commitments in the AP Reorganization Act 2014 are being fulfilled step-by-step. Don’t you know it is impossible to construct an IIT or an IIM in 2-3 years? They are Centre-backed institutions, and the Central government will take care of it.

Why are TDP and state media only bragging about a couple of unfulfilled promises? Minister Nitin Gadkari himself announced over Rs 49,000 crores for Ring Road in Amaravati, and Amaravati – Anantapur connecting road. Why is no one talking about that? Is it possible to build a capital like Delhi in 5-10 years?

Land acquisition, and submitting DPR is the job of the state government. The Centre has no issues whatsoever to release funds if the AP Govt. submits all the necessary information on time. I invite all the media personnel, and the people of Vijayawada and Guntur, to come and see what structures have been built in Amaravati so far.

The Centre has been highly positive in each and every aspect when it came towards the development of Andhra Pradesh,’ said Purandeswari.

With a single press meet, the former MP has surely pushed TDP in a defence.
