Balakrishna appears not to be fully aware of the media narratives from both sides. He seems familiar with one side of the story but not the other.
Today, after landing at Vijayawada airport and before visiting Chandrababu Naidu to donate to the CM Relief Fund, he addressed the press.
During his speech, he mocked the opposition, claiming they said the government caused the flood.
However, in reality, Chandrababu Naidu has frequently blamed the YCP for causing the floods.
He also mentioned that YCP members were hoping for floods to submerge Amaravati, and that's exactly what happened.
Pro-TDP media channels and his party spun a story alleging that individuals linked to the YCP tried to destroy the Prakasam Barrage by striking it with boats, intensifying the flood in Vijayawada.
Meanwhile, Jagan Mohan Reddy criticized the government's failure to take proper measures before the flood, despite weather forecasts, implying that the floods were a result of government negligence. YCP also condemned the weak rescue operations.
A netizen remarked, "If Balakrishna had paid attention to media coverage from both sides and understood what Chandrababu Naidu was saying, he would have known what to say in front of the media."
