Political clashes happen every now and then in Andhra. Rebutting the charges of the Leader of Opposition N Chandrababu Naidu, Minister for Irrigation Anil Kumar Yadav on Monday said that Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy had provided Rs 676 crore of the Rs 972 crore as part of the Gandikota project Rehabilitation and Resettlement (R&R) package within 15 months of coming into power. The outstanding amount of Rs 296 crore would be cleared soon, Minister Anil was quoted saying.

Earlier on Sunday, TDP president Chandrababu Naidu had attacked the Jagan-led government of teasing the evacuees to vacate their villages in Kadapa district without providing them their entitled financial aid as part of the R&R package. Naidu asserted that over 2,369 families in Tallapodduru village were not provided support but were being asked to vacate. Responding to the allegations, Minister Anil Kumar Yadav said that 'Chandrababu Naidu was propagating false information on the R&R package and accused him of provoking the people.'

'Had Chandrababu Naidu completed the R&R package, storage of 26 TMC water would have become possible. YS Jaganmohan Reddy has announced Rs 972 crores for the R&R package for the Gandikota project and already released Rs 676 crores. The remaining 296 crores will be released soon. But Chandrababu Naidu is shamelessly provoking some people, as he is feeling jealous that Jagan is gaining people's goodwill,' the Minister was quoted as saying by a leading media house. The Minister said it was Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy who announced the additional compensation of Rs 3,25,000 to the evacuees against the previous government’s package.
