Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy has launched a scathing attack on opposition leaders, accusing them of remaining silent and failing to address the needs of people affected by recent floods in the state. In a bold statement, Reddy alleged that ruling party leaders, including KCR, KTR, and Harish Rao, had looted up to ₹1 lakh crore over the past decade and suggested that they should donate ₹1,000-2,000 crore of that amount towards flood relief efforts. **Criticism of Opposition’s Response to Floods**Addressing the ongoing crisis, Reddy stated that opposition leaders should be proactive in reaching out to people during such calamities rather than merely criticizing the government from a distance. Drawing a comparison with neighboring Andhra Pradesh’s Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, who has been seen on the ground assessing flood damage, Revanth Reddy questioned the silence of primary opposition leaders in Telangana. He urged them to take an active role in relief efforts, as seen in other states.“It is important for the opposition leaders to stand with the people in such times of crisis. They should go to the people first and then speak to the government,” Reddy asserted, highlighting the need for political leaders to engage directly with affected communities.**Jibe at KTR’s Overseas Trip**In his remarks, CM Revanth Reddy also took a dig at K.T. Rama Rao (KTR), Telangana’s Minister of Municipal Administration and Urban Development, for his recent trip to the United States. “It’s okay for KTR to go to America and enjoy life, but he shouldn’t resort to mudslinging against ministers who are actively working on the ground,” Reddy said, hinting at KTR’s comments about state ministers. This comment reflects the ongoing tension between the ruling and opposition parties over handling the flood situation. **Call for Central Government’s Intervention**The Telangana CM also urged the central government to recognize the gravity of the situation and declare the floods a national disaster. Reddy called for immediate financial aid from the Centre to support the relief and rehabilitation efforts. “Why don’t you ask the Centre for funds or declare it as a National Disaster?” Reddy questioned, emphasizing the scale of the devastation.**Human and Economic Toll of Floods**The recent floods have resulted in significant human and economic losses across Telangana. As of now, 16 people have lost their lives, and the estimated damage is pegged at ₹5,438 crore. The state government has been under pressure to respond effectively to the crisis, with citizens and political leaders alike calling for prompt relief and rehabilitation measures.Revanth Reddy’s remarks come at a time when the state is grappling with the aftermath of severe floods, and political tensions are high over the handling of the disaster. As the situation unfolds, the demand for accountability and effective disaster management continues to grow, with leaders across the political spectrum being urged to rise to the occasion.
