A political war of words has erupted over the newly completed Bhogapuram Airport in Vizianagaram district, with both the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) staking claim to the project’s credit.
The TDP has asserted that the airport was conceived and initiated during its tenure and maintained that while certain construction activities took place under the YSRCP government, the project reached completion only after the current coalition returned to power.
Countering this claim, the YSRCP has maintained that the bulk of the airport’s construction was completed during the tenure of former Chief Minister Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy and that the party lost power just before the airport was commissioned.
Adding further momentum to the debate, former YSRCP MP Vijay Sai Reddy took to social media following the successful landing of the first test flight at Bhogapuram. In his post, he expressed happiness over the milestone and recalled that he had repeatedly raised airport-related issues in Parliament and during meetings with Union ministers.
Describing the project as a long-standing aspiration of the people of Visakhapatnam, Vijay Sai Reddy’s remarks were seen as an implicit attempt to stake claim in the ongoing credit battle.
With political tempers running high, it remains to be seen how many more leaders will step forward to assert their role in the completion of the Bhogapuram Airport.
