Guntur sources have stated that YSR Congress Party senior leader Ambati Rambabu has ridiculed AP Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu's statements on river and water body protection. He said they were pontificating even as the ruling TDP and its leaders are a on a looting spree of natural resources in the state.
Meanwhile when addressing the press conference in Guntur on Friday, the YSR Congress Party leader alleged that the ruling party leaders have been leading the sand mafia in Coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema districts. He said the illegal mining is rampant at all river banks, hitting their water holding capacity. Those officials who dared to act against the sand mafia were being threatened.

Moreover
Ambati Rambabu said as many as 30 TDP MLAs were actively involved in the land
mafia and dented state exchequer by evading crores of rupees worth of taxes
during the last three years. The CM has no moral right to speak on river
protection, he said and pointed out that Chandrababu had assured DWCRA women
that they would be given to power to maintain sand reaches and no steps have
been taken to make this assurance a reality.
