AICC spokesperson Dr Sravan Dasoju slammed the Telangana State Election Commission (SEC) for taking a U-turn on the distribution of flood relief funds to the victims. The SEC while announcing the election schedule for the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) yesterday allowed the registration and distribution of flood relief funds. However, on Wednesday it issued a new notification to stop the process of distributing flood relief with immediate effect citing the model code of conduct.
The senior Congress party leader while criticizing the SEC, said, “Wonder why the SEC has reversed the decision within 24 hours. What prompted you to suddenly issue this notification? You are behaving like a slave to KCR.”
He further criticized the functioning of the SEC in Telangana and demanded for the immediate restoration of the registration and distribution of flood relief funds in Hyderabad.
While speaking to media at Gandhi Bhavan on Wednesday, Dr Sravan Dasoju said, “Thousands of people including women are standing in big queues without food or shelter due to the decisions taken by the mindless KCR and KTR who are enjoying the show with an evil mindset.”
“Some of the people are even sleeping on the roads overnight by bringing blankets fearing that they might not get the chance to apply if they leave the place. They are putting their valuable lives at risk due to the pandemic Covid-19 spread. This pathetic situation is seen across the divisions which is so painful and indigestible,” he added.
Suspecting a “larger conspiracy”, he said, “KRC government will try to put the blame on us by saying the process was stalled due to the complaint by Congress party.
Clarifying his party’s stand, the Congress leader said, “The Congress party is demanding only to stop the cash distribution and application process at E-Seva and Mee-Seva centers. And we are demanding for the direct money transfer to the accounts of the last victim of Hyderabad floods.”
