TRS Nizamabad MP K Kavitha today slammed the Telangana Congress for "politicizing" the flood situation and blaming the State government for the Mid-Manair dam breach.
Participating in the 'Jagruthi App' launch event at Telangana Bhavan on Wednesday, Kavitha pointed out that the then governments had proposed to construct the Mid-Manair reservoir in 1992, but called for tenders only in 2006.
Pointing out that the Congress had been in power from 2006 to 2014, Kavitha said that the TRS-led government took up the reservoir works and finished them within two years of coming to power.
"Floods due to rains are a natural calamity. They are bound to happen. The only thing we can do against nature's fury is to find ways to prevent loss of life and property, and provide relief in its aftermath. Instead of lending a helping hand, the Congress and TDP will politicize just about anything," she lamented.
