As Vijayawada recovers from the devastating flooding, Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu’s government continues to lead the rescue operations with efficiency and dedication. Among those who have made an exceptional impact is Irrigation Minister Nimmala Rama Naidu. His unwavering commitment and tireless efforts have been critical in managing the crisis, especially in overseeing the urgent repairs needed for the Budameru canal, which had three significant breaches threatening further damage.

Nimmala Rama Naidu’s dedication was evident as he spent sleepless nights at the canal site, personally supervising the repair works and coordinating with both irrigation officials and an expert army team. For nearly 64 hours, he was continuously present, even standing under an umbrella amidst heavy rains to ensure the repairs were completed effectively. His efforts played a pivotal role in controlling the canal and mitigating the flood's impact, showcasing his extraordinary perseverance and commitment to disaster management.

Rama Naidu, a seasoned leader and staunch loyalist of the Telugu Desam Party, has consistently demonstrated his political acumen and dedication. Despite the challenges faced in the 2019 elections, he secured his MLA seat from Palakol and was re-elected in 2024, leading to his appointment as the Minister of Water Resources Development. His significant contributions during this flood crisis underscore his vital role in both political and crisis management, earning him well-deserved recognition.
