Telugu Desam Party (TDP) national general secretary N. Lokesh has said that Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has failed to provide tap water connections to the residents of the villages in the drought-prone Palnadu district.
The Yuva Galam padayatra of Mr. Lokesh entered Palnadu district from Prakasam district via Mupparajupalem village in Vinukonda Assembly constituency on August 1 (Tuesday). He will continue his padayatra in Vinukonda constituency for the next four days.
The residents of Mupparajupalem village complained that they did not have access to drinking water and that they had been suffering from the high fluoride content in drinking water. The village needs an overhead water tank and tap connections to all 400 households, they said.
