Sensing trouble ahead of the Chief Minister’s visit, the police were placing the BRS leaders under house arrest. Stating that it has been over a week since the flooding of Kamareddy district, the BRS leaders questioned the Chief Minister’s visit at this juncture.

The Chief Minister along with new cabinet colleagues, including Irrigation Minister N Uttam Kumar Reddy and others, had conducted an aerial survey of different areas in Kamareddy last week. However, due to rains, he could not visit the flood affected areas.
