Hyderabad: Former Minister T Harish Rao fired salvoes at the Congress government in Telangana for its gross negligence to submit the situation report to the union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) on the destruction caused by the heavy rains and subsequent flooding in the State. The reports are crucial for accessing disaster relief funds.

“Shocking. The MHA’s letter exposes the Congress government’s complete failure to submit the required situation report on the flood crisis,” he said.

Taking to X, Harish Rao condemned the government’s inaction, stating that it is delaying relief funds even as people continue to suffer. “The Congress government is turning a blind eye to the suffering of Telangana’s people. This is not just inefficiency, it is a betrayal of the people’s trust,” he said. He urged immediate corrective action and submit necessary documents to expedite relief efforts.
