Embarrassing situation for Congress in Krishna Dt

The state Congress Committee president Botsa Satyanarayana, ministers, MPs and  MLAs faced an embarrassing situation at the Krishna District Congress party workers meeting held at Gannavaram today.

A few senior local Congress leaders expressed their anguish about the the ground realities of rural areas where people have been facing hardships with power cuts and shortages of water for drinking and irrigation.

According to reports, the local leaders alleged that rural areas suffer power cuts for more than 16 hours and face difficulties in irrigating their lands from bore-wells. Using harsh words against both the state and central governments, they also complained that elected people's representatives are confined to cities and never listened the their people's problems. They said that welfare schemes have not been reaching the common man. They said openly that the Congress party is in a bad shape and unless leaders support them wholeheartedly, it would be difficult to face the people during the next general elections.
