Centre Stops Funding To Visakhapatnam?

In yet another setback to Andhra Pradesh,  the union government reportedly stopped funding to Visakhapatnam under Amrut  city project and also the Municipal Corporation  from local body development schemes. According to reports, the allocation of Rs 100 crore to the port was not mentioned in the budget 2018-19 proposals under the two development programmes. 

The BJP leaders held Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu responsible for not allocating funds to Visakhapatnam as the government failed to conduct Municipal elections in a scheduled time. The five year term of the city  Council was ended six years ago. 

As the government failed to conduct the elections,  Finance Commission stopped funding to the Municipality.
