YSRCP questions Naidu’s ‘secret’ tour

Guntur: YSRCP state general secretary Nandamuri Lakshmi Parvathi questioned Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu’s whereabouts, saying he has been missing from public view for three days while AP is grappling with protests, drought and floods.

Speaking at the YSRCP central office in Tadepalli on Monday, she demanded that the Chief Minister disclose where he had gone and why his tour was being kept secret. She said North Andhra was reeling under floods, Rayalaseema farmers were suffering from drought, unemployed youth were protesting and DSC candidates were on the streets seeking justice. “When the state is surrounded by problems and people are protesting, where has the Chief Minister gone?” she asked, charging that Chandrababu had undertaken similar undisclosed foreign trips earlier in the name of family tours. She questioned why the Centre and intelligence agencies were not scrutinising such trips and charged that they were meant to move and conceal money amassed through corruption.
