VIJAYAWADA: Accusing the previous YSRC regime of ignoring the implementation of the Jal Jeevan Mission in Andhra Pradesh, Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan has informed Prime Minister Narendra Modi that the present dispensation will implement it as per the aspirations of the Centre. During a meeting with Modi in New Delhi on Wednesday, Pawan Kalyan explained the State’s vision to utilise the JJM scheme effectively and fulfil its objective of providing safe drinking water to all.

Mentioning that there was no use with the works executed under the JJM during the previous regime, Pawan Kalyan said the present TDP-led NDA government has prepared a Detailed Project Report to take up works in the direction of realising the JJM objectives, and sought financial aid from the Centre to ensure round-the-clock supply of safe drinking water to rural households.
