Naidu-duo are misleading the people: Jairam Ramesh

Former Union Minister Jairam Ramesh has accused Union Minister M Venkaiah Naidu and Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu of misleading the people of Andhra Pradesh.

Addressing a press conference, along with APCC chief Dr N Raghuveera Reddy, at Indira Bhavan here on Friday, Jairam Ramesh alleged that the Naidu-duo were diverting the attention of people from the real issues. He said hype has been created around Pattiseema to divert attention from Polavaram Project. He said that the previous UPA regime had accorded national status to Polavaram Project. However, the present TDP Government is not able to complete the project. Therefore, Chandrababu Naidu, in connivance with Venkaiah Naidu, has been trying to divert attention.

Jairam Ramesh also criticised the BJP Government at the Centre over Land Acquisition Bill. He said Naidu has been following the footsteps of the Centre and forcibly acquiring land for the new capital. He said that the Congress party would continue its fight to protect the interest of farmers across the country.
