YSRCP demands cancellation of Bhogapuram airport tenders

Vijayawada: Senior YSR Congress leader Botcha Satyanarayana wrote a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to cancel the tenders of Bhogapuram airport. Speaking to the media persons here on Tuesday, he said the TDP government was making plans to escalate tender amount.

The government is taking steps to cancel tenders as the successful bidder Airports Authority of India did not pay any kickbacks to the TDP leaders, he alleged.

He wondered as to how the developments were taking place in the constituency represented by Civil Aviation Minister P Ashok Gajapathi Raju. He demanded that the Union minister should come out with truth on airport tenders cancellation. He said the Union Minister had agreed to cancel tenders following pressure from Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu.

Botcha also said that the government is looting public in all contracts including Polavaram, coal, sand and all welfare schemes. He asked the Prime Minister to respond on the prevailing corruption in State. 

The senior YSRCP leader attended a meeting organised in connection with the death anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi at the YSR Congress office here. 

He garlanded the portrait of Mahatma Gandhi and paid rich tributes. YSR Congress leaders Vellampalli Srinivas, Malladi Vishnu and several local leaders were also present.
