Minister Anil Kumar Yadav gives clarity over drone usage

Amaravati: The usage of the drone over Lingamaneni guest house has become a big controversy, where the Opposition leader Chandrababu Naidu has expressed anger over the incident.

However, Irrigation Minister Anil Kumar Yadav has given clarity over the drone usage on Chandrababu's residence, which is on the bank of Krishna river. He said that with the permission of the Irrigation department, the drone was used to capture the flood situation.

Anil Kumar Yadav criticised that TDP leaders are doing dramas to gain political mileage. He said they had long back said that Chandrababu's house would be sinking in case of any floods.
