Tammileru, Jalleru, Gunderu canals in spate
Crops in some thousands of acres were inundated due to incessant rains and many roads connecting Andhra Pradesh and Telangana and the National Highway were submerged in floods as the streams were in spate.
Road connectivity between Jangareddygudem and Eluru, Chebrolu-Dubacherla, T. Narsapuram and Chintalapudi and many other villages were snapped as heavy rains lashed in the border Khammam and Bhadradri-Kothagudem districts and in the catchment areas.
Some government offices, Anganwadi Centres located in low lying areas in Eluru, Lingapalem, Pedavegi, Kamavarapukota, Unguturu, Denduluru, Akiveedu, Narsapuram, Palakol, Bhimavaram and other places were inundated.
With the clock ticking down to the Lok Sabha election counting day on Tuesday, opposing fronts are perceptibly edgy and poised to continue the rancorous skirmishing that marked the campaign season in Kerala. The United Democratic Front, led by the Congress, is seemingly basking in the “interim victory” granted by various exit polls. The UDF discerns that its poll strategy of turning the polls foremostly into a damning referendum on the Left Democratic Front government’s perceived failures rather than BJP’s “divisive politics” at the national level stood a fighting chance of paying off.
