Wayanad Landslide Congress Slams Union State Govts As 'Irresponsible' In Survivors' Rehabilitation
ABP NewsThe Congress party on Saturday accused the union and the state governments of taking "irresponsible stands" in the rehabilitation of the landslide survivors in Wayanad and it urged not to play politics over this issue. If the Centre is yet to get complete figures from the state with regard to the landslide tragedy, it could have given advance amount to help the state initiate rehabilitation procedures in the devastated hamlets of the mountain district, it said. Equally criticising the Left government in the state, the grand old party further said that if Kerala has over 600 crore rupees in the SDRF, as per the figures released by the Centre, the state authorities could have launched the rehabilitation package without any delay. Pointing out that the BJP-led union government granted over Rs 900 crore to neighbouring Tamil Nadu as assistance on Friday, he said they could have at least given an advance amount to Kerala also and give the rest of the amount later after the state submits a detailed estimate.
