Desam cadre try to obstruct YSR's convoy; allege supply of contaminated water

VENTING THEIR IRE: TDP activists holding demonstration at the bus in which the Chief Minister, Y.S.Rajasekhar Reddy, was travelling during his `Rajiv Nagara Baata' in Nalgonda on Thursday

NALGONDA: Telugu Desam activists led by the former municipal chairperson, Boyinapalli Krishna Reddy, "welcomed'' the Chief Minister with slogans and banners when he went to Devarakonda road to inaugurate the works to be taken up with the Municipal and R&B funds.

The banners read : "We don't want contaminated water, we want drainage system'' and so on.

The Chief Minister inaugurated the works and boarded his bus and as the unrelenting activists tried to block his convoy, Dr. Reddy ordered the police party to let them approach him. Buoyed by the development, the TDP leaders led by Krishna Reddy complained that contaminated drinking water was being supplied due to lack of sufficient filters at the filtering unit.

However, when Borra Sudhakar, the TD district secretary, demanded that the Government lay an underground drainage system in the town, the Chief Minister shot back saying: ``Yemayyaaa... You (the TD) did not do any good in the last 10 years, but now you tell us what to do and make fuss when I am doing every possible good thing for the State. You don't have any moral right to question us," he rounded off before asking the bus driver to move.
