HYDERABAD: TPCC working president and MP Revanth Reddy blamed the State government for the death of a woman who collapsed in a queue at a Mee Seva Centre. He alleged that the TRS government was aiming to buy votes in the name of flood relief.

In a statement here on Wednesday, Revanth said that the State government’s lack of assessment over the capacity and capability of Mee Seva Centres led to chaos.

“This is an example of the failure of Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao’s administration. KCR and KTR are not even ready to take cognizance of the ordeal of those women and children who were standing in the queues.” he said.

The MP also alleged that the Chief Minister was sceptical about getting votes from the beneficiaries of flood relief, and had abruptly stopped the distribution of money under the grab of an edict from the Election Commission.
