BJP mocks KCR’s ‘foreign hand’ claim

Telangana BJP president Bandi Sanjay Kumar lashed out at Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao for seeing a foreign conspiracy behind the cloudburst and floods in the State instead of coming out with measures to help the flood-hit.

“Flood along the Godavari is nothing new. It has happened before and will happen in future also but attributing it to a deliberate foreign and human hand is laughable and another drama to cover up the government failures,” he said in a press statement on Sunday.

“In fact, KCR himself is the ‘conspirator’ claiming to be an ‘engineering expert’ but the flooding of Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Project and the water bodies bunds getting washed away exposed the hollowness of his claim,” he said.
