Summary:
Polavaram: Whether one likes it or not, the prestigious Polavaram project is a potential poll issue in this election. The opposition claims that the Polavaram Project works too were initiated by the Rajasekhar Reddy government and all clearances for the project were secured during his term. The opposition finds massive corruption in the Pattiseema project and the party is highlighting this corruption in the electioneering. As the project is the lifeline for the state after bifurcation, issues connected to the project and its progress too are important for parties to win or lose. The Pattiseema Project, a lift irrigation scheme pumping water from the Godavari and send to Krishna delta through the Polavaram left main canal is also one of the success stories for the government and TDP YSRC, however, finds fault with the corruption involved in the project, particularly Pattiseema..
