PATNA – Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav launched a scathing attack on the BJP-JDU led state government over the flood situation in Patna and said that it is shameful that Chief Minister Nitish Kumar called it a mere natural disaster.
“Chief Minister’s remark that this is a mere natural disaster is shameful. The concerned government officials are nowhere to be seen. The entire system has failed and the ”double-engine” state government is fighting within like animals,” he was quoted by the ANI as saying.
In a tweet sharing a news report, he also alleged that the government lost the map of drainage and it does not know that the the waterlogging will be leaked.
15 वर्ष की नीतीश सरकार ने ड्रेनेज का नक़्शा ही खो दिया। अब सरकार को नहीं मालूम पानी कैसे निकलेगा?
सरकार को यह भी नहीं पता है कि कितने पम्प है? कितने चालू है? ड्रेनेज सिस्टम के क्या हालात है? नालों की सफ़ाई कब हुई थी या नहीं?
मुख्यमंत्री जी, क्या यह सब प्रकृति का दोष है? pic.twitter.com/9gVBRhnkXE

The RJD leader said that no one is there for the public.
“No work is being done in Bihar. RJD has helped the public to their best ability during this tough time,” Mr Yadav said.
“Every year, there is floods and water-logging in different parts of the state. We have repeatedly raised the issue but the state government doesn’t give heed to these matters,” Mr Yadav added.
At least 17 people have been killed in rain-related incidents in the region after relentless rains lashed the capital city since late Friday night.
