CM should tour every village instead of merely conducting aerial survey: Somu
Opposition leaders touring the flood-hit Kadapa district have blamed the official machinery’s indifference and negligence for the Rajampeta tragedy in which 15 passengers of two APSRTC buses drowned and many others went missing after the gates of Annamayya project breached on Friday.
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) State president Somu Veerraju, who toured the Annamayya project in Rajampeta constituency on Monday, expressed concern over the scale of damage and the huge loss to lives and public property.
Demanding immediate sanction of ₹5 lakh to every affected family, the BJP leader said: “We expect the Chief Minister to tour every affected village, not merely conduct an aerial survey.”
