At a time when the pro-TDP media has been going ga ga over the “efficient” handling of the Hudhud cyclone situation by the Chandrababu Naidu government in Andhra Pradesh, YSR Congress Party has alleged that Naidu had miserably failed in taking up relief and rehabilitation measures in the cyclone affected areas.
YSR Congress party president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy, who toured the affected areas for eight days, announced that his party would launch a State-wide dharna on November 5 to protest against the indifference of the TDP government towards the cyclone affected people and its failure to keep up the poll promise of waiving agriculture and DWACRA loans besides the shoddy implementation of pension scheme.
He alleged that the TDP Government had been found wanting on all counts from carrying out relief and rehabilitation works in the cyclone ravaged areas and has been deceiving farmers and DWACRA women groups by going back on its poll promise of waiving loans.
“We have to strongly question the State government on its failures and we will hold dharnas at all mandal headquarters demanding the State to provide relief and rehabilitation to the cyclone affected people besides waiving the loans as assured to the farmers and women groups and shun from slashing the pensioners’ list,” he said.
He alleged that no official has visited major parts that were wrecked by the Hudhud and no enumeration work was taken up. Instead, Chandrababu Naidu has been resorting to publicity blitz while at ground zero level nothing was implemented.
