According to CAG reports, abnormalities are present right from the starting of this scheme in 2004. Rather fixing the standard rates by government, works were given away on a basis where payment will be made in lump sum by approximating the work done. A major irregularity was found among the surveys conducted during the initiation of these irrigation projects. For example, in Chevella project, 968 crores were spent on surveys unlike the scheduled 250 crores. Companies like SEW, Maytas and Ramky have received a 6-7 times excessive amounts for survey in contrast to the amount listed for spending.
Speaking about this, Independent MLA Nagam stated that 'Jalayagnam is the top scam done by fraudulent YSR'. Opposition parties already submitted their 'Public Accounts Committee' report about Jalayagnam to the speaker and it is yet to be made public. Can Congress still float their ship with YSR's photo even after making this news public?
