Telugu Desam Party (TDP) leaders, who have been taking on the ruling Congress on several issues, have alleged that the government has failed in all the fields. They said farmers, who invested on the crop, were undergoing trauma due to the interrupted electricity supply. Further, they alleged that government was hesitant to even pay tuition fee to the students. Ceiling procedure on BC students was not fair, they added. Also, they said a large number of people including women and children were dieing at hospitals only due to lack of proper medical facilities.

Talking about the ministers, TDP leaders said that the ministers were running around courts and alleged that Dharmana Prasad Rao's resignation to his ministry was just a mock one.  One of the leaders, Gali Muddukrishnama Naidu has said that despite giving a memorandum of request to the chief minister on interrupted electricity supply, the latter didn't respond. To make a point about their protests he said it was not wrong to stage a protest in front of the secretariat. Anyone can stage a protest anywhere, he added. The TD leaders said they wanted to discuss the public issues with the government.
