HYDERABAD: The Congress party is all set to win the Dubbaka byelection with a huge majority, said N Uttam Kumar Reddy, Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) president, on Tuesday. Uttam Kumar blamed Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao for the flood-like situation in Hyderabad and the problems being faced by the people because of the flooding at various places.
Taking potshots at the Chief Minister for not visiting flood-affected areas, he said, “The financial assistance of Rs 10,000 per family was too less and it would not compensate for their losses.
He said CM KCR announced Rs 1 lakh each for totally collapsed houses and Rs 50,000 each for partially damaged houses, it was like adding insult to the injury.”
He asked the TRS leaders whether they would take responsibility for repairing damaged houses with just Rs 1 lakh. Each family has suffered losses of not less than Rs 5 lakh, he added. The TPCC chief participated in different meetings at Thoguta, and Dubbaka town. Later, he also held an election review meeting.
Alleging that TRS government had failed on all fronts, he said, “They make big promises and forget everything after the polls. They did it during Huzurnagar bypolls and now trying the same stunt in Dubbaka too.”
He alleged that CM was supporting the Farmers’ Bills passed by the Centre by remaining silent.
