TDP defends Narayana amid YSRCP claims of waste management allegations
Inspecting the Donthali dumping yard, TDP State spokesperson warns YSRCP MLC Parvathareddy Chandrasekhar Reddy to be mindful of his words, claims the allegations are only aimed at safeguarding his position in the party
YSRCP MLC Parvathareddy Chandrasekhar Reddy accused Minister for Municipal Administration and Urban Development Ponguru Narayana of involvement in a ₹1,200 crore waste management scam. The alleged irregularities include problems with waste collection, legacy clearing, equipment procurement, plant viability, and administrative approvals.
TDP spokespersons Kotamreddy Giridhar Reddy and former Deputy Mayor P. Roop Kumar Yadav cautioned against making baseless allegations against ministers working for the public interest. They highlighted the garbage tax imposed and neglected door-to-door collection by the YSRCP regime. TDP leader Roop Kumar Yadav also accused YSRCP leaders of being worried about local body elections and the weak stance of their party.
Narayana visited Nellore's Donthali dumping yard and dismissed claims of foul play, stating that he would not be implicated in corruption. He compared critics to "educated illiterates" and claimed to have managed a ₹6,500 crore turnover for his educational group in 2024.
