Andhra Pradesh Irrigation Minister Ambati Rambabu kicked up a controversy by likening the members of the village volunteers to the workers of the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP).
Taking part in the party’s district plenary on Thursday, Mr. Rambabu said that the village and ward volunteers had been appointed based on the recommendations of the party leaders at the grassroots level. “Those volunteers working against the interests of the party will be removed from service and new volunteers will appointed,” said Mr. Rambabu.
