YSR Congress Party today came down
heavily on the Government for its total failure in anticipating the
intensity of the Nilam cyclone and the resultant floods in the state.
Addressing media persons in Hyderabad,
party MLA G.Srikanth Reddy demanded the Government to make immediate
arrangements for payment of financial relief to the victims who suffered
property and crop losses due to the heavy floods.
Srikanth Reddy said there are neither medical camps nor drinking water supplies in the flood-hit areas. Heavy property and crop losses occurred in Krishna, Guntur, Prakasham and Godavari districts because of the Government’s negligence and the victims should be compensated immediately.
Taking objection to the Minister Raghuvera Reddy’s announcement that there was no danger from the Nialm, Srikanth Reddy sought an explanation from the Minister on what basis he made the statement.
“The Government should openly admit its failure in anticipating the intensity of the natural calamity and take steps for immediate relief to the farmers and others who lost their crops and property,” he demanded.
It is good the Government has announced ex-gratia for the families of those who lost their lives in the floods but immediate announcement of relief for others is also important as well, he said.
Srinkanth Reddy objected to the statements of some ministers that central teams would visit to assess the flood damage. “What is the use of such teams? The Government has not yet paid the input subsidy promised to farmers during the Jal cyclone in the past,” he remarked.

Naidu desperate for power
Srikanth Reddy said TDP President
Chandrababu Naidu is desperate for power and his visits to the flood hit
areas seemed to be aiming at votes.
During his 9-year rule, Naidu never thought of irrigation, drainage system and loan or interest waiver but now he is making all promises to the people. “He kept quiet when Karnataka built projects during his rule and because of that we are experiencing the floods now,” he said, adding people won’t believe his promises going by his past record.
