Srinivas, who is facing a threat to life, alleged that Transco officials at Isnapur and Patancheru were indifferent to his repeated pleas for assistance, saying that it would be provided after discussions with higher ups. As he was fed up with the official apathy to his plight, Srinivas threatened to commit suicide by immolation, while breaking down. He submitted a representation to Krishnapur AE.

Later, YSRCP leader Raju urged Transco officials to at least, now, provide compensation to the electric shock victim's family and to help in improving his health. He warned of taking up an agitation by all parties in support of Srinivas and if required, to approach court against the Transco officials responsible for the accident.
