Addressing media here, Venkateswarlu wondered why the CM has not blocked construction of the Upper Bhadra project in Karnataka, despite having support of AP’s 151 MLAs, 21 MPs and Rajya Sabha members. He said by not exerting pressure on the central government, Jagan Mohan Reddy has compromised state's interests.
