People suffering, but KCR playing politics in Maharashtra: Congress
Earlier, the Governor received representations from leaders of the Opposition on problems being faced by people in rain/flood-affected areas. Meanwhile, lambasting Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao for touring Maharashtra at a time when farmers are distraught by the recent devastating floods, TPCC chief A Revanth Reddy asked the former whether it was a time to play politics for his personal gains at the cost of public exchequer.
He demanded the Chief Minister lead an all-party delegation to Delhi to meet the Prime Minister and Union Home Minister with a demand to release flood relief funds on par with Gujarat State. He also said that the Chief Minister should have visited Moranapalli village which suffered fatalities and loss of property instead of touring Maharashtra. He was speaking after staging a protest at the Ambedkar statue in Telangana Bhavan in Delhi along with his party colleague and MP Komatireddy Venkat Reddy.
