Budget 2016: No future for Polavaram?
Budget 2016: No future for Polavaram?
DECCAN CHRONICLE. | S N C N ACHARYULUPublished Mar 1, 2016, 6:55 am ISTUpdated Mar 1, 2016, 8:37 am IST
Union Budget allots just Rs 100 crore for the project.
Completion of project in 3 years seems impossible.
Completion of project in 3 years seems impossible.
Hyderabad: Going by this year’s Budgetary allocation to the Polavaram project, considered the lifeline of AP, it would take around 300, not three years as claimed by Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, to complete it.
Mr Naidu had often said that the project would be completed by 2018, but the Centre apparently doesn’t share his enthusiasm, having allotted Rs 100 crore.
Centre has declared the Polavaram project a National Project, meeting one of the promises made in the AP Reorganisation Act. Recently, the state government increased the estimates of the project to Rs 36,000 crore from Rs 16,000 crore and had requested the Centre to allot at least Rs 4,000 crore to the project in this year’s Budget.
The Rs 100 crore announced by Union finance minister Arun Jaitley was a repeat of his last year’s allocation.
The allocation is in stark contrast to the Congress government, which had spent about Rs 5,000 crore on the Project. After the TD came to power, it concentrated on the Pattiseema project to interlink Rivers Krishna and Godavari, spending about Rs 2,500 crore while Rs 300 crore was spent on Polavaram. The state government said that the expenditure incurred on Pattiseema was part of the Polavaram expenditure and the Centre was requested to reimburse Rs 2,500 crore.
However, the Centre refused to buy this argument, making it clear that Pattiseema project was not a part of Polavaram but a separate project.
It also said that unless the Polavaram Project Authority (PPA) certified the expenditure, it would not sanction the funds.
Recently, the Centre released Rs 300 crore for the Polavaram Project, but the funds would not reach the state government directly. They went to the PPA, which would release them to the state government after it is satisfied about the expenditure on Polavaram project.
The state government said that even though the Centre has allotted only Rs 100 crore for Polavaram in the Budget, it is optimistic that that the money it spends on the project will be reimbursed by the Union government.

HYDERABAD: Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu made it clear that he is ready to hand over the construction works of Polavaram irrigation project to the Centre, if the latter wants.
Following the pinpricks by BJP floor leader VishnuKumar Raju over the escalation of project cost by the present contractor, an irate Naidu said, “If the BJP is ready to take over the project, I am ready to hand over its construction to the Centre. The BJP leaders should think twice before joining the chorus with Leader of Opposition while making allegations against us over Polavaram issue.”
Earlier, Leader of the Opposition YS Jagan Mohan Reddy wondered why the TDP Government was constructing the Pattiseema Lift Irrigation Project by spending Rs 1,600 crore, when it is sure of completing the Polavaram project by 2018.
“I don’t understand why the State government allowed the contractor of the Polavaram project to escalate the project cost.
The contractor is taking up the project works at a snail’s pace.
The State Cabinet has authorised the contractor not only to increase the project cost but also to nominate his choice of sub-contractors.
This itself indicates that the government is doing all this for the sake of kickbacks,” Jagan alleged.
Then he further said the State government had allotted the contract works of Package-7 of Polavaram Right Main Canal to a TDP leader’s company by cancelling the contract given to the L&T company, that too at a much higher price.
“After cancelling the Rs 23-crore contract awarded to L&T, the Government allotted the same to Bollineni Seenaiah company, owned by an ex-MLA of the TDP, at a cost of Rs 74 crore.
Even chief secretaries are wary of affixing their signature on the proposal. Is it not being done for taking bribes and looting public money?” the YSRC chief thundered. Later BJP leader Vishnukumar Raju too sought an explanation from the State government .
Naidu to attend meet on Polavaram in New Delhi today
According to Irrigation minister Devineni Uma Maheswara Rao, chief minister Naidu would take part in a high-level meeting to be held in Delhi on Thursday to clear hurdles for the construction of Polavaram project. The meeting will be held under the chairpersonship of Union water resources minister Uma Bharti. “The agenda of Thursday’s meeting is to finalise a rehabilitation package worth Rs 1,500 crore to the people likely to be affected by the project.” Sources said that after taking part in the meeting, Naidu would leave for London to attend an investors’ meet.

Settle Polavaram row amicably: Centre to AP

Polavaram project cost goes through the roof
Polavaram project cost goes through the roof
MN Samdani | TNN | Oct 12, 2015, 12.35 PM IST
VIJAYAWADA: The fate of the Polavaram project, touted as the lifeline of Andhra Pradesh, hangs in balance if its revised cost estimate is any indication. The state cabinet, in its meeting on Saturday, had raised the project cost to a whopping Rs 36,000 crore. The project, across the river Godavari at Polavaram village, was estimated to cost only Rs 16,000 crore when it was last revised in 2011. The current upward revision by Rs 20,000 crore will be a huge burden for the cash-strapped state to bear.
When the project was first mooted in 2005, the state government had put the cost at Rs 10,271 crore. The crops in East and West Godavari as well as Krishna districts will not get assured irrigation if the project does not come through. Although chief minister Chandrababu Naidu has been claiming that the government will complete the project by 2018, experts argue that it will take another decade to execute it in view of the steep escalation in cost.
The Central government has accorded 'national' status to the Polavaram multi-utility project in fulfillment of the promise made in the AP State Reorganization Act. It has also assured financial support, but sanctioned only Rs 300 crore in the last two budgets. It is not clear whether the Centre will agree to foot the additional burden due to the upward cost revision of the project.
AP water resources minister Devineni Umamaheswara Rao told TOI: "The estimates have been revised based on the proposal sent by a committee comprising senior officials. The government has decided to expedite the project work."
Irrigation experts point out that Polavaram will become a reality only if the Centre sanctions at least Rs 6,000 crore a year for the next five years. "Sanction of a meager amount will hamper the progress of the project. If the Centre continues to dole out just Rs 300 crore a year, Polavaram will continue to elude the farmers in the state," said former MP Vadde Sobhanadreswara Rao.
As it stands now, even seven per cent of the dam's construction is yet to get completed even three years after the award of the contract. Transtroy, the contractor firm, is believed to have stalled the work demanding upward revision of the project cost in view of inflation.
Since the tender was granted on EPC (engineering, procurement and construction) basis, the government is not obligated to revise the cost as it is the responsibility of the contractor to foot the additional financial burden. However, the government gave a green signal to the revised estimation allegedly due to the lobbying of some influential players.
The state water resources minister, however, clarified that of the total revised cost, the share of the dam is less than 10 per cent. The project cost went up due to the burden of relief and rehabilitation work, he added.

State BJP leaders questioned the cost revision. "The Centre has recognised Polavaram as a national project. It has also appointed an independent agency, Polavaram Project Authority, to monitor the work. How can the state government revise the cost without the PPA's nod?" asked senior BJP leader Somu Veer Raju.
Krishna Delta Jalasadhana Samithi leader Kolanukonda Sivaji demanded a 'white paper' on the money spent on the project so far. "The TDP government seems to have no intention to complete the project soon. The cost has been revised only to delay it, and not to complete it on time," alleged MVS Nagi Reddy of YSRCP.
Responding to the charges, Devineni Umamaheswara Rao said that rival political parties are making "baseless" comments as they are not interested in the early completion of Polavaram.
