Telugu Desam Party (TDP) national general secretary N. Lokesh has promised safe drinking water to Ongole on a daily basis if his party is voted to power in the 2024 Assembly elections.
Addressing a public meeting during his ‘Yuva Galam‘ padayatra here on July 26 (Wednesday) night, Mr. Lokesh noted that the denizens were put to hardship due to supply of drinking water once in three to five days in different parts of the city.
The ruling YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) has failed to provide matching grant for a drinking water project even as the Centre has released its share of funds for the project promised to be undertaken by Ongole MLA and former Energy Minister Balineni Srinivasa Reddy, he said.
