Bills due to contractors, power purchase dues, fee reimbursements and compensation to projects evacuees are some of them, he said.
The YSRCP leader castigated some sections of people for targeting the state government.
At a time when some sections of the media are attacking the state government on its credit position, the Parliamentarian compared the state debts of some states to prove a point that all is well according to the reports published in greatandhra.com.
He said Andhra has a debt of Rs 3.7 lakh crore, compared to Uttar Pradesh (Rs 6 lakh crore), Maharashtra (Rs 5 lakh crore), Tamil Nadu (Rs 4.8 lakh crore), Telangana (Rs 3.2 lakh crore) and Kerala (Rs 3.2 lakh crore)
Earlier, the ruling party leader alleged that some sections of the media are attempting to pass on lies about the Pulichintala project as truth.
He alleged that the earlier government under Naidu did not follow the protocols before filling the dam with water.
“A 2015 experts report said that the gates were weak and it exposes Babu,” he alleged.
