While the people of the state are reeling under heavy rains and floods, Chief Minister Revanth Reddy is being criticized for getting involved in politics. The CM, who is supposed to be closely monitoring the flood situation and listening to the cries of the people, left for Delhi on Thursday, saying that he has nothing to do with it.
With this, people are expressing deep anger at the CM’s style of behavior. Official sources say that there are no records of CM Revanth Reddy reviewing the steps that should have been taken in advance to prevent people from facing any trouble in the wake of heavy rains.
They say that press notes are being issued from the CMO’s office to deceive the people. The press notes say that CM Revanth Reddy spoke to the officials in the wake of the rains and ordered them to take relief measures. The officials themselves say that the CM did not call them, that he did not review the rains and floods.
Sometimes, without the CM’s knowledge, PROs are saying that they are sending press notes as part of their routine. The municipal department is also under CM Revanth Reddy. Hyderabad is struggling with floods. But his failure to review it, if not as CM, at least as a municipal minister, is drawing criticism.
There are opinions that if there was a separate minister for the municipal department, the situation would have been different. He would have taken care of it. There are allegations that the CM, who has kept everything to himself, is unable to solve the problems of the people. Heavy rains have been inundating the state for two days.
The heavy rains are creating havoc in Hyderabad city. The heavy rains that fell for almost four hours on Wednesday night have left the city in a state of disarray. All the roads have become ponds. Vehicles have been stopped for kilometers in some places and traffic jams have occurred.
Motorists have been keeping vigil on the roads all night. Some people left at night and reached their homes at 3 am. The rains started in the city from Thursday evening. Motorists saw spots as it rained in the evening.
