Former AP Irrigation Minister Ambati Rambabu, known for seeking media attention, sparked controversy with his recent comments on the Polavaram project. Addressing a press conference after criticism from Chandrababu regarding project tenders, Ambati made a surprising admission.
He stated, “Polavaram is a highly complex project. Understanding its logistics and details is not easy. I myself did not fully comprehend the Polavaram project.” His exact words were, “Polavaram project nakey artham kaledu.”
After serving as AP’s irrigation minister and pledging to finish the Polavaram project during his tenure, Ambati’s recent admission that he didn’t understand the project has sparked confusion and criticism on social media. Netizens are reacting strongly to a video where Ambati admits to not grasping the complexities of Polavaram, questioning how he managed the project as a minister without understanding it. They are heavily criticizing Ambati for what they see as irresponsible comments.
Adding to the controversy, Ambati claimed to be the first to acknowledge the project’s complexity, suggesting even Chandrababu Naidu faced similar challenges.
