When people were caught in floods and pleaded with the State government to airlift them safely, no helicopter was arranged to rescue them. This was even after two Indian Air Force helicopters were arranged as standby at Hakimpet station.
Interestingly, on Friday, Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Bandi Sanjay and Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka boarded a helicopter to visit the flood affected areas in Khammam and other places.
Videos of the duo boarding a helicopter went viral on social media platforms. Many questioned the lack of commitment and coordination between the leaders to rescue the people stranded in floods.
