YSR Congress gets 7,800 complaints during ‘Ward Baata'

                                                            

The first phase of the ‘Ward Baata' embarked on by the YSR Congress Party central committee member Bhumana Karunakar Reddy in Tirupati constituency ended on Thursday.

Around 250 persons, who were sympathisers of the Congress or the erstwhile Praja Rajyam, joined YSRCP by donning the party ‘kanduva' on the spot.

During the last 75 days, the party received 7,800 complaints on issues ranging from drinking water scarcity, drainage from sewer lines entering public tap network, open manholes, non-issue of pensions for old age persons, physically-challenged and widows, house sites, ration cards, LPG connections, etc.

On winding up the yatra at the vegetable market at Patnool street, Mr. Reddy received a good chunk of representations from the public.

He also released a poster pertaining to the ‘Maha Dharna' to be held on March 19 to protest the indifference of the civic officials to the plight of the public.

He visited the ‘Rajiv Gruha Kalpa' office and sought to know from the public if the officials demanded any bribe.
