Soon after the leaders’ convoy arrived in the village, residents stopped their vehicles and questioned as to why they had arrived in their villages.

In a few videos that are going viral on social media platforms, the villagers holding placards are demanding the Congress leaders to keep their promises.

A woman is seen questioning Narayan Reddy on a few issues, including Rythu Bharosa assistance, Rs.2500 monthly assistance for women and the demand to construct a bridge across the Andugula canal.

The villagers said they were facing severe hardships due to lack of a bridge across the canal and the same was brought to the notice of the leaders.

Though they had promised to construct the bridge, works were not taken up so far. Irked over the delay, the villagers stopped the leaders’ vehicles, forcing the leaders to leave the village without inspecting the canal.

They also demanded that Ervin village should be upgraded as mandal headquarters. As the situation was going out of control, police intervened and escorted the leaders outside of the village.
