Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], July 28 : BJP National Vice President DK Aruna hit out at the Telangana Chief Minister KCR saying that instead of reviewing the losses incurred by people due to rains, he is "immersed in planning election strategies".
Speaking to ANI, DK Aruna said, "The Telangana Chief Minister has not reviewed the situation of the loss incurred to the people due to rains nor given a statement to build confidence in the people. He is immersed in planning election strategies."
Continuing his attack against KCR, he said, "They are not concerned about the rains, but about the upcoming elections. They just want to plan what has to be given freely for the elections to appease the people."
The BJP National Vice President also accused KCR of emptying the government treasury and instead buying a huge bus, helicopter and even an aeroplane.
"KCR has emptied the government treasury such that employees cannot be given salaries today. Today, the Telangana CM should tour and review the affected districts. He(CM) has bought a huge bus, helicopter and even an aeroplane," DK Aruna said.
"There have been many alerts from the weather department but the Telangana government did not give much care about it," she added.
Reminding the state government of its responsibilities during such a disaster, DK Aruna said, "It is the responsibility of the CM to meet the people when they are in distress but the CM just send some officer. The CM should build confidence in the people that the government is with them."
Reacting to Telangana Minister KTR's statement that the opposition should not resort to petty politics, she said, "It is true that no one should do politics in such a situation and we should work together. BJP leaders and workers are stepping down into the field everywhere and helping the government and people."
Lashing out at KCR for his allegedly lavish lifestyle, the BJP National Vice President said, "...the CM is just sitting in the farmhouse and planning about the upcoming elections. We are urging them to step into the fields and help the people. It is the responsibility of the CM to get to the people and help them."
