He announced that as per the instructions of the YSR Congress Party president YS Jaganmohan Reddy, he was organising mega health camps in all Assembly constituencies.

He said that a large number of public had already attended the health camps in Markapuram, Kanigiri and Darsi and received advices from various specialist doctors and free medicines for relief from their diseases.

The former MP said that most of the public were becoming ill due to the non-availability of safe drinking water. Due to the prevailing drought conditions in the district, he said that the public were digging bore wells up to 1000 feet for water and were becoming victims of the kidney failure and fluorosis.

He flayed that the TDP had promised one mineral plant for free supply of drinking water in every village, but failed to implement it.

He said that the TDP had also failed to keep its promise of completing the Veligonda and implement Swaminathan Committee recommendations.

He promised that the YSRCP would complete the Veligonda and Gundlamotu projects in one year of coming into power in 2019 and develop the Cumbum tank also to provide water for drinking and irrigation needs along with the implementation of Swaminathan committee recommendations for the welfare of farmers.
