BJP MLAs seek Centre’s assistance to deal with floods

State BJP MLAs Eatala Rajender, T. Raja Singh and M. Raghunandan Rao on Sunday said that they had sought Centre’s help to deal with floods which caused displacement of scores of people and largescale loss to agriculture and properties.

“We have requested the Centre to provide sufficient aid in view of the unprecedented floods. Central Ministers have been requested to visit Telangana to assess losses and provide necessary succour. A preliminary report on the prevailing situation has been shared with the Central government”, said Mr. Rajender at a press conference.

Flanked by his two colleague MLAs, he said the trio themselves will be touring the affected region and interact with the affected people directly once the floods recede in the next few days. The MLAs have also blasted the State government for “disrespecting” Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan by failing to follow the protocols during her visit to Bhadrachalam and other areas.
