This financial boost is in addition to the Rs 100 crore earmarked for the project in the Union Budget. The Andhra Pradesh Government and Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu had expressed disappointment that the Centre had ignored the state’s demands to allocate more funds for Polavaram and had described the Rs 100-crore allocation as paltry.
