A minister told Naidu that the delay in food distribution happened due to a few officers on duty in the Budavelu area. He noted that work is being delayed in areas where officials who were Jagan’s supporters are working. He opined that those officials might be intentionally delaying the work.
Reportedly, the minister told Naidu that a few officers from different cadres, who came out of voluntary retirement to serve in the rain-affected areas, have been intentionally delaying work in rescue operations to tarnish the government’s reputation.
