CM snaps at flood victims

Guntur/Kurnool

Oct. 12: The Chief Minister, Mr K. Rosaiah, was irked by the persistent complaints by flood victims on Monday, so much so that he told them, “If you want compensation, take it. Otherwise I will go.”
Mr Rosaiah came face to face with angry locals throughout his tour of Nandyal in Kurnool district and Repalle and Bhattiprolu mandals in Guntur on Monday. In many spots he faced “go back” slogans.
At different places in Guntur, women repeatedly told Mr Rosaiah that they had not received any relief from the government.
Mr Rosaiah pointed out at Penumudi village that the district administration would distribute 20 kg rice, tur dal and 5 litres kerosene apart from compensation.
An angry woman then asked, “What I should with the kerosene? Should I pour it on my head?” Mr Rosaiah was so upset that he left the village.
In Nandyal, flood victims obstructed Mr Rosaiah’s convoy. They wanted him to step down from his bus to visit their colonies. They blocked the CM with slogans like “CM down down” and “CM Go back.”
In other places too, the victims wanted Mr Rosaiah to go with them to their colonies to see the pitiable conditions. Mr Rosaiah said he had come to console them and lost his cool when they persisted
