Vijayawada, July 24 (NSS): In a major bid to draw Modi govt’s attention towards the flood situation in Andhra Pradesh and to highlight the apathy of the Centre in yesterday’s Budget, APCC president YS Sharmila Reddy, today walked into waist-deep flood waters.
Y S Sharmila Reddy, along with Congress leaders and cadres today visited Nandamur village under Tadepalli Rural mandal of West Godavari district and interacted with villagers, whose homes got inundated due to the flood waters.
Speaking to the media on the occasion, Y S Sharmila Reddy said, “Looks like the Modi govt. does not consider Andhra Pradesh to be a part of India. While States like Bihar, Assam and Himachal Pradesh received additional funds for flood control and rehabilitation, Andhra Pradesh, the State where NDA is in power received no relief for the woes people are facing here due to flooding.”
“This clearly indicates that Modi has no love towards the people of this State, and possibly thinks AP Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu will not leave NDA even if no relief is provided. Congress is the only party in AP that will stand by the people in all weathers,” she added.
