KTR Demands ₹25 Lakh Each as Compensation to the Deceased in Floods

Hyderabad: BRS party working president KT Rama Rao Monday criticised the announcement of Rs5 lakh compensation to the families of those who lost their lives due to floods in the State was unfair and cruel. He demanded that the Congress government should announce a compensation of Rs 25 lakh to the flood victims.

Taking to his twitter handle, he said that in the past, CM Revanth Reddy, in his capacity as PCC president, had promised to give been given ₹25 lakh each to the families of those who lost their lives in the floods and added that since Revanth Reddy is in power now, he should keep his promise and pay a compensation of Rs 25 lakh. KTR said that the State government should stand by the families of those who lost their lives in the floods. There can be no greater fraud for the chief minister if the promise made to the families of those who died in the floods is not kept," he said.

He said that the CM, who had promised to give Rs 2.5 lakh to Rs 5 lakh to those whose houses were damaged due to the floods, should come forward and give the money to the affected. He alleged that the loss of lives in the State was due to the inefficiency, inaction and lack of prior planning of the government. KTR suggested that steps should be taken to save the lives of the people and assure the people of the flood affected areas.
