National Party and the ruling Party at the National Level, BJP which claims itself as the only party with nationalistic spirit, failing to display it on Polavaram Project. On one side, the project is recognized as the National Project according to Andhra Pradesh Reorganization Act and the center is talking about funding it abundantly.
But on the other side, even Union Ministers from BJP are speaking against the project. Union Petroleum minister Dharmendra Pradhan the other day backed the Odisha government’s stance on the Polavaram Project, saying that the project undertaken by Andhra Pradesh is against the interest of the State. He blamed the erstwhile UPA-led government at the centre for the approval of the project in the first place.
But then Pradhan conveniently ignored that his party is also committed to the project. He on the behalf of Odisha BJP extended support to the steps have been taken by Odisha government to protect the state rights on Polavaram Project which includes taking the matter on to the judicial platform. The National Party seems to be twisting its tongue according to its political needs.
