Staff Reporter

KARIMNAGAR: Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee president K. Keshava Rao and Minister for Sports M. Satyanarayana Rao had to face some embarrassing moments during their election meeting at Theegalaguttapalli village of Karimnagar mandal on Sunday.

When they reached the village, party ZPTC candidate N. Padma was not present at the venue. Without waiting for the candidate, the APCC president addressed the gathering and when he was about to complete his speech, a section of women in the crowd began grilling the leader on issues like housing, drinking water and electricity. Listing their woes, the womenfolk demanded sanction of houses. When a woman complained that she received a power bill of Rs. 12,800 for three months, Mr. Keshava Rao promised to look into the matter.
