YSR Congres honorary president Y S Vijayamma on Tuesday demanded national status for Pranahita-Chevella Srujala Sravanti project.

Addressing a mammoth gathering at Kagazanagar in Adilabad district, she came down heavily on the government for its negligence on the irrigation projects. She promised that Jagan will complete the project after he became chief Minister. Irrigation water crisis in Telangana would be solved to maximum extent with completion of the project.

Stating that the Congress government has no determination on the farmers’ welfare, Vijayamma said the input subsidy for farmers was not being disbursed and it was paying deaf ears on the alarming farmers’ suicides. The government has created hype on SC, ST sub-plan, but the Dalits would not be benefited by it.

The YSRCP leader said “Amma Hastham” turned out to be a “Maya hastham” (Magic hand) and the government should clarify where it had created jobs under “Rajiv Yuvakiranalu.” It had promised 15 lakh jobs and questioned who had benefited by the scheme. She called upon the party cadre to work as army men and welcomed some leaders who joined the party in her presence.
