Expressing serious concern towards flood like situation in several parts of Madhya Pradesh, State Congress president Kantilal Bhuria alleged that instead of helping the affected people, Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan is busy is moving different parts of the State on his chariot.
Instead of helping out the affected people at the time of need, Bhuria stated that Chouhan is busy in seeking blessings from the common people.
The BJP and the government officials are also taking pride in claiming that people gather to listen the Chief Minister during rains, but being head of the Government, he did not taken any efforts to help the people facing problems due to heavy rains.
Talking about the havoc the rains have played, Bhuria in a statement said that almost all the major rivers of Madhya Pradesh including Narmada and Tapti are flowing above danger mark and road transport has been obstructed at several places.
The administrative officials, instead of working for the common people, are busy in making arrangements for Chief Minister’s Jan Ashirvad yatra and thus the flood affected people are suffering the most.
Since, Hoshangabad is the major affected district of Madhya Pradesh, the Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) has especially sent State Congress vice president Manak Agrawal there, to have stock of the situation.
Bhuria further alleged that through media, people are being misled that the Chief Minister is directly reviewing the flood situation, but the situation is entirely different. Flood situation in Hoshangabad, Betul, Jabalpur and Sagar are beyond control.
At some places, where the residents of low-lying areas have been evacuated and shifted to higher places, the administration has not made any arrangements for their stay.
Bhuria alleged that the people of Madhya Pradesh are suffering only because, the chief minister is busy in taking out yatras.
