Narayana accuses Naidu, KCR of neglecting drought relief

CPI National Secretary K. Narayana on Friday alleged that the Chief Ministers of both Telugu States were focussed only on wiping out opposition parties from their respective States.

Speaking to media persons here, Narayana said Chief Ministers - N. Chandrababu Naidu (Andhra Pradesh) and K. Chandrashekar Rao (Telangana) were using funds to purchase legislators of opposition parties than spending the same on drought relief. He said both the States could have spent about Rs. 4,600 crore on drought relief. However, both the States failed to utilise the funds appropriately.

Further, Narayana alleged that Chandrababu Naidu lacked guts to get Special Status for Andhra Pradesh from Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
