Chandrababu further stated that while everyone was trying to help the flood-affected people, YCP, on the other hand, is trying to spread negative propaganda against these efforts. He accused YCP leaders of releasing boats into the Krishna River and causing them to hit the gates of the Prakasam Barrage during the floods.

He questioned why boats that hit hit the barrage gates had YCP colours on them. He further affirmed that no one involved in this crime would be spared.
