Vijayawada: BJP legislature party leader P Vishnu Kumar Raju on Wednesday questioned the state government in Assembly over awarding Amaravati capital construction works worth Rs 50,027 crore to just nine ‘privileged contractors’, while thousands of registered contractors across the state were left without work or payments.

Speaking during Question Hour, the BJP legislature party leader said there are more than 3,000 registered contractors in the state, but only nine were awarded all major Amaravati construction works and were being paid their bills on time. “What happened in the matter of awarding these contracts, how it happened, the government knows, the concerned minister knows, and I know better,” he remarked in the House.
