Hyderabad: YSRCP leaders Velampalli Srinivas, Malladi Vishnu, and Devineni Avinash criticised the TDP coalition government for its failure to manage the recent floods in Vijayawada.
Speaking to the media at the party central office in Tadepalli on Sunday, the three YSRCP leaders expressed deep concern over the severe flooding in the city, attributing it to the government's lack of preparedness and ineffective response measures. They pointed out that despite early warnings from the meteorological department, no preventive actions were taken, resulting in widespread destruction and loss of life.
Velampalli Srinivas questioned the whereabouts of key government officials, including the Chief Minister, Deputy Chief Minister, ministers, and MLAs, stating that they are preoccupied with personal leisure activities while the city suffered.
Malladi Vishnu highlighted the failure of the irrigation department and criticised the government's overall inaction, which left lakhs of Vijayawada residents waiting for help.
Devineni Avinash noted that YSRCP leaders and workers had taken the lead in relief efforts, filling the gap left by the government. The YSRCP leaders demanded immediate government action to provide relief and compensation to the affected residents, warning that their party would hold the government accountable if it failed to act.
