**Former Finance Minister Critiques Projects Utility While Supporting Decentralized Development**

The former Finance Minister has expressed concerns regarding the current infrastructure project, stating that it may lack utility and could potentially lead the state into significant debt. The official emphasized the importance of fiscal responsibility and warned against financial commitments that might strain the states budget.

In a contrasting view, the former minister expressed support for Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddys proposal for a decentralized development model. The minister highlighted that a decentralized approach could bring economic benefits by promoting local governance and leveraging regional resources effectively.

Decentralized development involves distributing authority and resources closer to local populations, which can enhance accountability and responsiveness to community needs. The former ministers advocacy for this approach aligns with national trends seeking to empower local governments and foster sustainable growth.

The debate surrounding the project’s utility and the associated economic risks continues as stakeholders assess the best path forward for the state’s development strategy. Further discussions are anticipated as policymakers weigh the potential impacts on the states economy and public finances.
