CM Jagan: CM Jagan often says that he is poor. Beeda screams. But without stepping on the ground, they travel in the sky. Recently, he hired two helicopters for his election campaign. But it is remarkable that the government is ready to pay the rent of nearly four crore rupees per month. CM Jagan's statement that this decision has been taken by giving importance to security has become important. However, the opposition is criticizing this. Objections are being raised on the hiring of government-funded helicopters for election campaign meetings.
Right before the elections, the state government took a crucial decision. AP Aviation Corporation is preparing two helicopters at government expense for Jagan's tours. It has been decided that one will be available in Vijayawada and the other in Visakhapatnam. But instead of arranging these on their own, it is remarkable that they have decided to take them on rent basis. But since they are twin engines, the rent of each helicopter has been fixed at Rs.1.91 crore. Contracted with Global Vectra Helicopter Limited. Apart from rent, it seems that the government will also bear the cost of airport handling, pilots, staff and fuel. It is noteworthy that the government is ready to spend more than four crore rupees per month on this calculation.
The helicopter currently being used for the CM's visit has become old. Not suitable for CM travel. That is why the government has received reports to lease two helicopters for the CM's visit as well as the VVIP's tours. It has been decided to keep one of these two in Vijayawada and the other in Visakha. However, there will be criticism on this.. and no other reasons are known, but CM Jagan is claiming that this decision has been taken as a part of security measures. As JD category security is being provided to CM Jagan, intelligence has recommended to the BJP government to look into various aspects sensitively. As per the recommendations of Intelligence DG and Protocol Department, the government has decided to provide maximum two helicopters for CM's travels.
However, criticism is being expressed on the installation of helicopters right before the elections. Questions are being heard that he did not remember this for so many days. The opposition is furious that Jagan has leased helicopters only for the election campaign meetings. How can they attend party meetings with government money in the name of security? They are demanding that the YCP leadership pay for the helicopters. But since the orders have already been issued, it seems that helicopters have been kept ready at both airports.
