The BJP’s Parvatipuram Parliamentary segment president K. Tirupati Rao and general secretary Dwarapureddi Srinivasa Rao on Monday accused the Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy government of putting the State in a deep financial crisis by borrowing nearly ₹1.50 lakh crore in order to spend on ‘unproductive’ welfare schemes. The leaders participated in a video conference with BJP State president Somu Veerraju. Addressing a press conference in Parvatipuram later, Mr. Tirupati Rao alleged that the government had ignored development and pushed the State into a debt trap. Mr. Srinivasa Rao alleged that the Union government was providing ₹1.50 lakh to poor people to construct a house but the State government was trying to project the housing scheme as its flagship programme.The election authorities are gearing up for the counting of votes cast in the simultaneous elections to Lok Sabha and Assembly seats in Andhra Pradesh, scheduled to be held on June 4. The Collectors and Election Officers of Visakhapatnam, Anakapalli and Alluri Sitharama Raju (ASR) districts said on May 23 (Thursday) that their teams were ready for the counting of votes.
Responding to the prolonged water scarcity, the residents of the area took to the streets in protest on Wednesday. The protest, which drew attention to their plight, stopped only after the intervention of the police. It was not until 1.30 p.m. that a 4000-litre tanker was finally delivered by BWSSB, providing relief to the water-starved residents.
