Vijayawada MP Kesineni Srinivas (Nani) has said that he is intended to introduce bio-toilets using DRDO’s bio-digester technology.

At a meeting organised in connection with the first Youth Parliament, organised by Vijayawada Needs U, a city-based student organisation, the MP said: “I want to introduce at least 1,000 bio-toilets before my term ends.”

Admitting that populist schemes introduced by the TDP in its last tenure had failed to reach the grass roots level, which had kept the party out of power, he said: “This time, Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu ensured a good balance between the two important factors. A State should be investor-friendly while the needs of the sections in the lower strata of society should be given equal importance,” he said.

Referring to the poor sanitation of the residents living on the hill slopes in One Town area, he said that nearly 10,000 people were using a few community toilets and the sanitation of this area should be improved.

Speaking about Gollamandala in A. Kondur mandal of Krishna district, a remote village he has adopted, he said that efforts would be made to groom it into a model village in the country.
