Andhra Pradesh MLA Dharmana Prasad Rao sparked backlash after allegedly saying that sanitation workers should dump garbage in front of houses of people who refuse to pay the garbage tax in Visakhapatnam.

"What if garbage collection does not take place? Why make it a big deal to pay Rs 100 collection fee. Garbage must go for processing. Tell everyone to pay. If not, we will leave it [garbage] in front of houses," Rao said.
