Sakshi today published the main page item about repairs to roads in the villages.
The article claims repairs will be conducted to 6425.88 Kilometers of village roads under the Panchayati Raj engineering department.
The government reportedly sanctioned 1000 Crore and the online tendering process will begin on the 19th of this month.
As many as 157 constituencies will be benefitted, the article claims. But then, there are still doubts about the commitment of the government.
Firstly, Online tendering beginning on the 19th means it may take a minimum of one week for completion. If that is the case, we are almost into the last week of May.
The monsoons will arrive in June and the road works have to be completed before then. There are doubts if the works can be completed by then.
Keeping that aside, the Andhra Pradesh government has got a very bad reputation with the contractors due to 1000s of Crores of pending bills.
There are doubts if they will enthusiastically place tenders and take risk with Jagan Government.
There are people who say given the bad roads across the state, 1000 Crore Rupees will not be sufficient.
Ninnu Nammam Jagan, they say!
Let us see if the Chief Minister can prove them wrong.
