Govt pumping all funds into welfare schemes, alleges Andhra Pradesh BJP president

TIRUPATI: State BJP president Somu Veerraju on Sunday accused the YSRC of bringing development activities to a standstill for the implementation of welfare measures.

Addressing reporters after a meeting of BJP representatives from the Rayalaseema region in Kurnool, the state BJP chief blamed the government for ‘sidelining’ development and using available resources only for the implementation of numerous welfare measures it has initiated.

“Roads and infrastructure projects have been hit badly,” alleged Veerraju.

Meanwhile, Srikalahasti YSRC legislator Biyyapu Madhusudhan Reddy rubbished allegations and said the need of the hour was to reach out to the poor and the needy through welfare schemes. “Besides implementing welfare schemes, the state government is also executing various development works across the state and the BJP-led Union government is aware of this,” the legislator added.
