  • The state disturbed by heavy rainfall
  • Crops and houses destroyed
  • People locked amidst water
  • Devastated by infectious fevers
  • Chandrababu as indifferent as ever

AP has been devastated due to continuos heavy rains. Houses have collapsed, crops are drowned and people have lost their things. Many have died due to the rainfall and the Government is sitting as idle as ever. It has failed miserably in taking preventive measures as well as in performing efficient assistance measures. As water from canals and lakes in Guntur and Prakasam districts has flowed into low level areas, people are locked amidst water. Roads and railway tracks are destroyed, leading to halt in transport system. People are not able to receive basic commodities. Situation in agency areas is worse. Roads are closed due to stocked rainwater. Supply of electricity has been stopped. People are spending time with fear. With wastewater entering the houses, people are falling prone to infectious and contagious diseases.

Did people ask for golf courses and airports?

The Government is apparently indifferent to the suffering of the flood victims. The CM who has to review the intensity of drought and the poor state of people from time to time is instead showing interest on construction of airports and golf courses, giving importance to publicity. Ministers seem to be sleeping. The opposition is slamming the Government for pretending to shed tears after all possible destruction is over. It is suggesting that the common man does not want golf courses or air ports and demanding for assistance to the flood victims.

No one to rescue from infectious fevers

Many colonies are being drowned in waste water due to heavy rains. With the water being stocked in the houses for days, germs are growing quickly, giving infections to people. Government hospitals are being filled with patients. People who cannot receive proper medical care are dying. It is being criticised that the Governments are not even bothering to hold health camps. Transport to flooded areas came to a pause and villages have gone dark due to stopped supply of electricity. No measures have been taken to better the situation. Instead of preventing spread of diseases by establishing health camps and special arrangements in Government hospitals, Babu is going after his selfish benefits, much to the agony of people.

Liking for political position surpassing responsibility towards people

Babu has been concentrating on stealing and saving since he came to power, neglecting development of the state. Getting caught in some or the other legal case and getting stay from the court has become a common routine for him, long with vengeful deeds towards the opposition. The opposition is suggesting that Chandrababu should open his eyes at least now in order to come to the aid of the suffering people.
