Vijayawada: Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu on Wednesday asked all the TDP, the Jana Sena and the BJP leaders across the State to attend the relaunching of the works in the capital by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on May 2.
Through a teleconference Chandrababu Naidu told the MPs, MLAs and booth-level leaders of the TDP that Modi will lay the foundation for Rs 49,040 cr worth of works in Amaravati. Also, the Prime Minister will lay the stone to some works and inaugurate some other projects all worth Rs 57,962 cr relating to DRDO, DPIIT, NHAI and Railways, the Chief Minister said.
Acknowledging that the voters have given a record mandate to the NDA with 93 per cent striking rate, Chandrababu said that this is because a promise has been made before the elections that the State, which was totally destroyed, will be rebuilt. He asked all the TDP, the Jana Sena and the BJP leaders and activists to positively attend the Prime Minister's meeting.
Both the Centre and the State are moving ahead with close coordination, he said, adding that despite severe financial crunch welfare and developmental programmes have been taken up in these 10 months.
He said the State is receiving the highest amount of investments and stated that Swarnandhra Vision-2047 has been formulated for the comprehensive development of the State as the goal of NDA is decentralisation of development. He expressed concern that though land in Visakhapatnam has been allotted to URSA company at Rs 1.5 cr per acre, some forces are resorting to a misinformation campaign that it is allotted at only 99 paise.
'There is every need to take the facts to the public and refute this kind of false propaganda. The YSRCP leaders have committed the biggest blunders. They have looted the State through so many ways like wine, mine, sand and land,' Chandrababu remarked.
Chandrababu expressed confidence that Amaravati will be built in such a way that the people of the State can proudly claim that it is their capital like how the people of Karnataka claim about their Bengaluru, how the Telangana people claim Hyderabad and Tamil Nadu people like Ch0ennai.
Asserting that the role of the TDP is indelible in the development of Hyderabad, he said that Telangana's major share of revenue is from Hyderabad and similarly, more developmental works and welfare programmes can be taken up in the State with the revenue to be generated from Amaravati. The Chief Minister reiterated that the capital is a self-sustained project and all the basic facilities will be provided in the next three years.He made it clear to the leaders that all of them should not act against the sentiments of the cadre and said that he gives equal preference to the Government and the activists as well. 'Let us organise the Mahanadu at Kadapa on a massive scale. Only the NDA should win all the elections,' Chandrababu Naidu observed.

AAP's Jain appears before ACB in classroom scam case

NEW DELHI: Former Delhi minister Satyendar Jain on Friday appeared before the Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) for questioning in connection with an alleged corruption case concerning the construction of classrooms in government schools. Jain had been summoned by the ACB to appear for questioning. Before heading to the ACB office, he maintained that the previous AAP government had prioritised education in the city, unlike the present BJP-led administration. 'The previous AAP government in the national capital worked towards improving the city's education, while the current BJP government is only doing politics,' Jain said. The ACB had earlier summoned AAP leaders, former deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia and former PWD minister Satyendar Jain in connection with the case. Jain was asked to appear on June 6, and Sisodia has been summoned for June 9, according to officials. In April, the ACB registered a case against AAP leaders, alleging corruption in the construction of classrooms at inflated costs. The agency claimed that a scam worth Rs 2,000 crore had been uncovered in the construction of 12,748 classrooms and buildings during the tenure of the AAP government. The complaints were filed by Delhi BJP spokesperson Harish Khurana, BJP MLA Kapil Mishra, and Neelkanth Bakshi of the BJP's media relations department. They alleged corruption in the construction of approximately 12,748 school classrooms at an expenditure of Rs 2,892 crore. According to the ACB, the awarded tender cost for building a classroom was around Rs 24.86 lakh, while such a room could have been constructed for Rs 5 lakh. It was further alleged that the project was awarded to 34 contractors, many of whom are reportedly linked to the AAP. Joint Commissioner of Police (ACB) Madhur Verma said, 'It was decided in meetings of the expenditure finance committee for 2015-16 that the project would be completed by June 2016 at the sanctioned cost without any scope for future cost escalations. But not even a single work was completed within the prescribed time and significant cost escalations were observed.'
