YSR Congress party general secretary and parliamentary party leader V Vijay Sai Reddy, who has been avoiding coming to Visakhapatnam ever since the poisonous gas leakage from LG Polymers Ltd took place claiming the lives of 12 persons on May 7, is back in action.
Vijay Sai Reddy, who tried to come to Visakhapatnam along with chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy on the fateful day in helicopter, was asked to get down by the chief minister from his car. In his place, Jagan took health minister Alla Nani along with him Visakhapatnam.
This led to a lot of speculations in the media stating that all is not well between him and Jagan and that the latter expressed unhappiness over the way Sai Reddy allegedly mishandled the Coronavirus situation in Visakhapatnam.
For the next four days, Sai Reddy was nowhere to be seen in the port city, at a time when everybody thought he would be in the centre stage of relief operations.
Everybody thought the MP was forced to stay out the works, which were entrusted to a group of ministers led by agriculture minister K Kanna Babu.
But on Monday, the YSRC leader was back in Visakhapatnam. He had not only overseen the relief operations in the affected villages, but also slept along with the ministers in one of the villages.
Sai Reddy clarified to the reporters that he could not come to Visakhapatnam on the fateful day, because there was no place in the helicopter and he had thought the presence of health minister was more important than him at the spot.
“It was unnecessarily made an issue by the yellow media and the TDP leaders,” he said.
The MP said he had adopted Visakhapatnam and there was no question of running away from my responsibilities during crisis times.
“I will put in all my energies for the development of Visakhapatnam city,” he said.
Sai Reddy said the chief minister wants this area to be made into a safe and green zone and so, there was no need for the people to worry.
“We shall stay put in the villages to give confidence to the people and see that everybody is safe. We have brought the people here only after ensuring that there are no chemicals in the air here,” he said.
