Minister Kanna Babu Counters TDP For False Allegations On Godavari Boat Accident

Agriculture Minister Kurasala Kanna Babu has strongly condemned the misconduct of the TDP leaders on the boat accident issue. He said the boat accident was caused by human error and there was no government failure. He alleged that TDP leaders are doing politics over the issue. Speaking at Kakinada on Thursday, he said the government had paid Rs. 10 lakh as Exgratia to victims and 25000 each for the villagers of Kachchuluru who saved the lives of many tourists.

Minister said that Naidu, who is the reason for 29 deaths in Godavari Pushkaralu Ghat in 2014 didn't even console the victim's families and is now criticising CM YS Jagan for doing an aerial survey on the boat accident.

"Experts say it is not possible to pull out a boat that is 250-300 feet deep. If anyone comes forward to take the boat, the government is ready to give an opportunity." the minister asserted.
