BJP State secretary N. Ramesh Naidu addressing a media conference at Rajampeta in Annamayya district on Tuesday.
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Tuesday accused former Chief Minister and YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) president Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy of attempting to gain โpolitical mileageโ while cashing in on the deaths in the Vijayawada floods.
At a press conference in Rajampeta town of Annamayya district, BJP State secretary Nagothu Ramesh Naidu flayed Mr. Jagan for politicising the floods, instead of contributing in mitigating the crisis. โThe party has manpower and Mr. Jagan has enough money. Why have the YSRCP members not rushed to support the flood victims? Why has he not made any contributions for the cause?โ he questioned.
Referring to Mr. Jaganโs visit to the flood-stricken spot by walking through knee-deep water, Mr. Ramesh Naidu appealed to the YSRCP leader to think beyond โoccasional photo shootsโ and mindless criticism against the State government at the most inappropriate moment.
He also highlighted Mr. Jaganโs delayed visit to the kin of the deceased, long after the Annamayya project in the district wash washed away.
