BJP Ministers were always ready to rush to different pats of the country to “engineer defections” but were failing to fulfil their “Raj Dharma” by not coming to the aid of the flood-affected, the Congress said on Monday. “When it comes to breaking governments, the Ministers rush to the States to engineer defections, but when it comes to helping people affected due to floods, no one visits the affected states, especially in the northeast,” senior Congress leader and Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Ghulam Nabi Azad said.
Hitting out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Ministers, Mr. Azad accused them of being insensitive about the sufferings of the flood-affected people: the Modi government was in “deep slumber”, he said, adding that instead of attending to the victims of this human tragedy and providing relief, the BJP Ministers were indulging in “petty politicking”.
