Congress, BJP continue to squabble over U'khand floods

July 01, 2013 10:05

The war of words between the Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party over the Uttarakhand floods continue, even as thousands continue to be stranded in the state.

Senior BJP leader Sushma Swaraj slammed both the state and the central government in a series of early morning tweets. The Congress government in the state is "inept and incompetent", she said.

These tweets come after Congres's Manish Tewari tweeted, "Did anyone see LOPs in both Houses express sympathy/visit disaster hit U'khand?" and followed that up with, "This from a party that criticizes visits of Congress leadership."

"I am sorry to say that the government in Uttarakhand has not been able to rise to the occasion," and "Unfortunately, the government in Delhi has also failed to provide the requisite leadership," she tweeted this morning.
