KURNOOL: Nature is a great leveller. Industrialist and Congress MLA T G Venkatesh is arguably the richest man of Rayalaseema, but today he is homeless.
The MLA who donated Rs 1 crore to the chief minister relief fund has been forced to take shelter in a hotel room in Kurnool and monitor the relief operations in his constituency from Kurnool.
Venkatesh���s home sprawls over five acres. He also owns a three star hotel and a hospital on the banks of the Tungabhadra and Handri.
But all these buildings are still under slush and are uninhabitable. ������Flood water submerged his building in Sankalbag in Narsingrao Pet in Kurnool. He, along with his family members had to flee leaving everything behind on October 2,������ an employee of Venkatesh told TOI.
������I can���t describe the plight of the people of my town. Not just my house but the entire town was under water a couple of days back. We are not able to cope with the destruction left by the floods,������ Venkatesh said on Tuesday.
