Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan visited Manyam Parvathipuram district today. During his tour, he laid the foundation for road construction works in the tribal village of Bagujola in Makkavu Mandal. Deeply moved by the poor conditions in the village, Pawan Kalyan announced that a 9-kilometer tar road from Bagujola to Sirivara would be constructed at a cost of ₹9.50 crore.
Reflecting on his earlier visits to tribal regions like Paderu and Araku during his Porata Yatra, he recalled identifying three major issues: roads, drinking water, and youth employment. Expressing concern, he stated, “No one ever thought of coming here or building roads until now.”
He highlighted that the central government, under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, allocated ₹670 crore for backward districts between 2020-22. However, he alleged that these funds were mismanaged during the previous administration.
He criticized the prior administration, saying, “They took your votes by claiming injustice was done to them, but couldn’t build a road in five years. They spent ₹500 crore on Rushikonda Palace but failed to construct a road in the tribal area of Bagujola.”
