Revanth Reddy asks KCR to send a report on floods to Centre

HYDERABAD: Telangana PCC president A Revanth Reddy has demanded that Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao send a report on the flood situation to the Centre.

Revanth held a meeting with all the PCC members on Sunday to chalk out a strategy to be implemented in the state.

The meeting decided to press for an adjournment motion on the Telangana floods on the first day of the Parliament session with Sonia Gandhi's permission.

Revanth Reddy told the media that the Congress party would provide financial assistance of Rs 1 lakh to the family of journalist Zamir who died in the floods.

Demanding the announcement of financial assistance of Rs 1 crore to each of the families of those who died in Singareni rescue, Revanth Reddy alleged that KCR is doing reviews to transform TRS into a national party, forgetting the problems of people in flood-hit areas. He said the Chief Minister had not sought the help of Centre and came out today to flood-hit areas as the Congress party was taking rescue measures.

Revanth Reddy said that he would hope that KCR would have the losses assessed and give a report to the central government to seek help.

The TPCC president alleged that the Chief Minister was trying to cover the corruption in the Kaleshwaram project and divert the issue of submerging of pump houses.

Revanth Reddy adding that there is a possibility of damage to Andhra Pradesh of Telangana if there is a cloudburst on Godavari and Krishna.

The Malkajgiri MP also took a dig at Bandi Sanjay saying that KCR and the latter were friends and found fault with Centre for not releasing the flood relief to Telangana.
