Amaravati: Agriculture minister K Kannababu lashed out at SEC Nimmagadda Ramesh Kumar for the decision to go ahead with polls at a time when the coronavirus is still raging and infecting people, including the new second wave emerging with the new strain.
"Everybody knows that Kumar is acting on somebody else's behest along with a personal motive. What is unfortunate is that he is putting people's lives at risk," said Kannababu in a statement. The minister alleged that Kumar is behaving in such a way that he wants his agenda to prevail at any cost, disregarding public health.
"At a time when there was no coronavirus effect, he postponed the polls. Now when the state government is highlighting that there is Covid and vaccination... even curfews in some cities, he has still unilaterally declared elections, indicating that he has a personal agenda or somebody else's influence on him," Kannababu opined.
He questioned why Kumar did not conduct elections during the previous TDP regime.
