Hyderabad: Veteran Congress Party leader Marri Shashidhar Reddy today blamed the state government for the recent floods.
Shashidhar Reddy alleged that the state capital had to witness such massive natural floods due to a lack of advance action plan with the state government. He alleged that the state government had failed in taking up immediate protection steps.
He demanded the state government set up a state disaster management authority and take up the relief measures. He made it clear that the state would also get natural calamities although it does not have an ocean.
Reddy said that there was a lack of basic amenities in Hyderabad despite the fact that it contributes a lot of income to the state government.
Referring to the claims of the state government that it has spent ₹65,000 crores for the development of the state capital, he made it clear that basic infrastructure was more important than the beautification of the city.
He demanded the state government extend the financial aid to all affected families of the state capital.
