YSRCP President Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy visited flood-affected areas in Vijayawada today after paying tribute to YSR at Idupulapaya. During his visit, he criticized the ruling coalition government, accusing it of negligence in handling the recent floods.
Jagan alleged that the government, led by N. Chandrababu Naidu, failed to act on early warnings from the Meteorological Department, which had forecasted heavy rains due to a depression as early as the 28th of this month. He claimed that the government’s negligence led to the severe flooding and demanded an apology from Chandrababu Naidu to the affected people.
Highlighting the plight of the flood victims, Jagan stated that many are left stranded without basic necessities and have not received any financial assistance from the government. He questioned the government’s preparedness, noting that the current relief measures are insufficient given the scale of the disaster.
Jagan further criticized the government’s response, pointing out that only six relief camps have been set up for the large number of affected residents. He contrasted the current situation with previous instances of heavy rainfall, where, according to him, the volunteer system had been effectively utilized to manage the crisis.
