Bolisetti told ANI, "The discomfort of software engineers and professionals who are performing their duties in "work from home" mode. Many are going to Yanam, Kakinada and other nearby places to work. They have requested police to restore net connectivity as early as possible so that they can do their jobs smoothly".
He stated that "It is part of the conspiracy of the ruling party to give political color to the protest in Amalapuram. The government wants to solve the problem in a peaceful way and wants to make it bigger.
