Jagan Slams TDP for Alleged Excessive Amaravati Spending
Imagine the government is building a new city, and someone thinks they're spending too much money.
Jagan, a former leader, says the current leaders are wasting money on buildings in the new city, Amaravati.
He thinks they are spending too much money, about nine thousand rupees for every square foot built!
He wonders why they are spending so much when the temporary buildings already have space.
He says the government is paying much less to build other things.
Jagan believes this high spending is helping the contractors who are friends with the current leaders.
He feels they are using public money the wrong way.
YS Jagan Mohan Reddy accused the TDP government of overspending on Amaravati.
He questioned the high construction cost of Rs 9,000 per sq ft for the new capital.
Jagan criticized the construction of extensive new buildings while existing temporary structures have ample space.
He highlighted a cost discrepancy compared to other government buildings (Rs 2,500 per sq ft).
Jagan claimed the capital project is benefiting contractors close to the ruling party.
