ANANTAPUR/VIJAYAWADA: Squarely blaming the State government for the sand scarcity, CPI State secretary K Ramakrishna has said that sand has now become a revenue earner for the ruling party leaders.
Speaking to media persons at Kadiri, Ramakrishna said sand scarcity has affected lakhs of workers. He also found fault with the YSRC leaders for their remarks that since there is a flood, sand excavation is not possible. “What about the places where there is no flood and water?” he questioned. He wrote a letter to the Chief Minister asking him to conduct ‘Racchabanda’ at Vemula to listen to the woes of people suffering due to uranium mining.
