Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) president S. Sailajanath on Wednesday said the YSRCP government had failed to come to the rescue of the flood victims.
In a statement, Mr. Sailajanath accused the government of neglecting the plight of the flood-affected population with “the Ministers and other elected representatives reducing the calamity to a formality by merely going around the affected areas and not doing anything concrete to mitigate the woes of the people.”
He said hundreds of families in Kukunuru and Velerupadu mandals in the Godavari catchment areas were spending sleepless nights with the floodwater level rising again. Torrential rains battered the region on July 10, which further intensified in a fortnight, throwing life out of gear for the residents of the two mandals, he said, adding: “The rains have caused extensive damage to the road network.”
