Andhra Pradesh: Vasantha Krishna Prasad flays TDP for false campaign on roads
MLA Vasantha Krishna Prasad
- Flays the previous regime for poor maintenance
- Says 1,883 km of bitumen roads have been laid in the State during the last two years
- The YSRCP govt has already approved the construction of roads at a stretch of 9,557 km with a budget of Rs 7,828 crore
Amaravati: Mylavaram MLA Vasantha Krishna Prasad flayed TDP leaders for propagating false information on maintenance of roads across the State and said it was due to the negligence of Chandrababu Naidu during the previous government that roads were damaged.
Addressing a press conference at the party central office here on Tuesday, the MLA said TDP leaders were hiding facts and misleading people through biased information.
He said the previous government had constructed 1,356 km new bitumen road during its five- year rule at an average of 271.2 km per year and had done 8,917 km of widening and repair works, with an average of 1,783 km per year.
He said the State government has constructed 1,883 km bitumen road at an average of 942 km per year in the last two years after the YSRCP came to power and added that the YSRCP government has done widening and repair works along 4,015 km roads at an average of 2,000 km per year in the last two years.
He said the State government has already approved the construction of roads at a stretch of 9,557 km at a cost of Rs 7,828 crore and the tender process is almost nearing completion. The MLA said the roads were damaged due to heavy rains after the YSRCP came to power and they will be repaired once the monsoon is over.
