- Pratyeka Hoda Sadhana Samithi began a 96-hour hunger strike here on Tuesday demanding strict implementation of APRA
He said that Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu would not be able to complete the Polavaram Project by 2019 as the Union government was not allocating funds to the project as per the estimates. “SCS is the only solution to the all problems and development of AP on par with other South Indian States and the ruling party leaders must fight with the Central government over the issue,” he added.
