One of the main complaints against AP CM Jagan Mohan Reddy has been his extensive usage of helicopters even for brief journeys and trips. The logistical costs of these trips are costing the state exchequer a fortune every year.
For instance, here is a new example. Jagan is to take part in a public meeting in Kurnool on 19 December. He will have to travel a mere 20 KM to go from the Kurnool airport to the place of the meeting. But even for this 20 KM trip, the officials are bringing in a helicopter for Jagan’s convenience.
There is a national highway connecting the airport and Kurnool town. It is easily accessible for the CM convoy. But Jagan has opted to board a chopper instead for this brief trip.
The more shocking thing is that this chopper is being brought from Hyderabad or Vijayawada. Either way, the chopper will have to travel 200 KM to reach Kurnool. The round trip will be around 400 KM including CM’s commute. All these costs will be levied on the state exchequer and could end up costing lakhs of rupees.
These logistical costs could’ve been avoided had Jagan opted to use his convoy for the brief 20 KM journey, but that isn’t the case here.
