"Chandrababu Naidu is continuing his 'credit chori' by making false claims over the Bhogapuram airport. It was the YS Jagan Mohan Reddy government that completed around 80 per cent of the work, including obtaining clearances and completing land acquisition," Sajjala alleged.
He further claimed that the previous YSRCP government had secured approvals for the widening of Beach Road, but alleged that the present government had shelved the project.
