Today, Amaravati: Chief Minister Chandrababu has made it clear that Budameru places have been occupied, buildings have been constructed and registrations have been made. “There is no question of leaving the criminals behind the political mask. We will remove that mask. How dare you leave a 30 ton boat? They are boats used for sand exploitation. They looted the land, occupied it illegally, put a hole in Budameru and played with people’s lives. He warned that none of them will be left behind. On Tuesday, he inspected the areas of Shantinagar and Kavulur in Ibrahimpatnam where the Budameru canal was blocked. He inquired about the hardships of the locals. He then spoke to reporters.

It is a betrayal of the race

Three boats weighing 30 tons each were left in the barrage. Two counterweights weighing 15 tons were broken at the speed they came. What would have happened if they had touched the pillars? 170 years of history is Prakasam Barrage. It provides cultivation and drinking water to Prakasam, Guntur, Krishna and West Godavari districts. Conspiracy to destroy such a barrage is racial hatred. We have saved lives from unexpected floods. But there was heavy property damage. So far, the compensation figures of 90 thousand families have been received. Full details will come by Wednesday. There was a national response to the Vijayawada disaster. The army also threw up its hands that Budameru could not be buried. Congratulations to Minister Nimmala Ramanaidu, officers and staff for their hard work. Geomembrane and HDP rubber sheets were laid without seepage. Along with Megha and NCC companies, local contractor Venkateswara Rao has worked hard. Minister Lokesh also visited from time to time.

We fought for ten days

We fought day and night for ten days without getting any food. The district administration, IAS officers, sanitation and water works workers worked tirelessly. Relief measures have been undertaken on a large scale. We were able to provide food parcels daily. Despite using helicopters, NDRF forces and drones, we could not go inside. On Tuesday evening we provided essentials to everyone. Center spends 75 percent and state 25 percent for natural calamities. Apart from these, we have asked the Center for special funds. We want to grant additional funds considering it as a national calamity. The central team is touring. The damage will be examined and reported.

Will travel from Uttarandhra to Bapatla

There was damage in many parts of the state. I am going to Uttarandhra on Wednesday. I will meet Eleru victims. I will visit Visakha too. On Thursday, I will visit Kolleru, Gudivada Constituency, Nandiwada Mandal and Bapatla and stand by the victims,’ said Chandrababu. He was accompanied by Minister Nimmala Ramanaidu and MLA Vasantha Krishnaprasad.
