Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy called on Prime Minister Narendra Modi here on Wednesday and urged him to expedite several issues including those related to State bifurcation, as well as, the completion of the Polavaram project.
Apart from seeking funds for the construction of new medical colleges, completing the Polavaram project and correcting the loopholes in the implementation of the National Food Security Act, the Chief Minister also urged the Prime Minister to fulfil the promises given to the residual state of Andhra Pradesh following bifurcation.
He also told the Prime Minister that the State has been incurring an additional financial burden of Rs. 5,527 crore on supplying ration to 56 lakh families every year under the PMGKAY due to the irrational selection of beneficiaries under the National Food Security Act. The Centre should supply 77,000 metric tons of rice from unused ration stocks of 1 lakh tons every month to AP to compensate for this. Before holding discussions with the Prime Minister for one hour and twenty minutes, the Chief Minister also held a 45-minute meeting with Home Minister Amit Shah. After meeting the Prime Minister, he called Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and discussed various issues related to the State.
