Flood relief: Cong wants TS Governor to intervene

Alleging that Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan had become a mute spectator, the Congress urged her to intervene and stop the distribution

Hyderabad: Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) has opposed the distribution of Rs 10,000 flood relief to the poor affected by the recent incessant rains and the resultant floods in the city. Alleging that Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan had become a mute spectator, the Congress urged her to intervene and stop the distribution.

Nalgonda MP Komatireddy Venkatreddy, in a statement here on Wednesday, said the government had no right to disrespect the poor by making them stand in line for hours for the financial assistance. “The government said it will ensure that the flood relief reaches the homes of the victims, but now the poor are being made to stand in long lines,” he said.

TPCC spokesperson Dasoju Sravan said the government which could have deposited the amount directly into the bank accounts of the flood victims, deliberately made them stand in queues.
