"Privileged to contribute towards the relief efforts led by Hon'ble Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister. Our hearts are with the people as they rebuild their lives and livelihoods," he posted on X.

Heavy rain and floods claimed 46 lives and caused extensive property losses in the affected districts. 

More than 6.44 lakh people have been affected due to the floods, which also damaged crops in over 2.14 lakh hectares.
