The State, instead of witnessing development in the last one year as is being claimed by the YSRCP, has gone bankrupt, the opposition TDP has alleged. Had these funds been spent on the Polavaram project, another 10% works could have been completed, he said. While ₹16,128 crore was allocated for irrigation, only ₹3,566 crore was spent. The ₹1,850 crore released by the Centre for Polavaram were diverted to non-productive programmes, Mr. Ramakrishnudu alleged. But borrowings increased by 135% in just one year against 30.70% during the TDP terms, Mr. Ramakrishnudu claimed.
