Criticising the state government over its handling of the flood situation in western maharashtra, NCP chief Sharad Pawar on Thursday said the Centre should provide help to the affected districts as the state had “fallen short”.
“There is a need to focus on saving the lives of people in Kolhapur, Sangli and Konkan. The minister concerned should rush to the affected area. The activeness of the administration depends on the extent of the seriousness of the head of the state. This time the government machinery fell short. Those in power are not serious about it,” Pawar told mediapersons.
