The UKD CM missed out on the Met Dept warnings. Residents too suffered heavily. He has not even reached out to them till today. Can he 3/n

...Can't be tolerated. The CM has failed his people. The Centre should monitor every bit of relief & rescue. It is a national disaster2/n

Unwanted issue being made out of Sushma ji's tweet. She's not asking for President's rule, nor for a BJP govt. Inept handling in UKD 1/n

...Continue in office? UKD people have lost home, kith&kin,livelihood. Govt expects them to walk to relief camps begging for help! 4/n

The Central Govt's flip flop too showed that they were giving knee-jerk responses. Sushma ji has only raised these issues.

Those who cannot govern in crisis do not deserve to be in the Government even for a day.

What has your state Government done ? Nothing. The living are starving. The dead are being robbed. And you are patting your back.

All rescue operations have been done by Army, airforce and ITBP. They have done this at the cost of their lives. I salute them.

Instead of helping in relief works in U'khand, don't try to use this calamity as a Political Opportunity! #NoPoliticsOverCalamity

@SushmaSwarajbjp Pyre of many Victims of this Natural Calamity still warm. First BJP tried to take credit of evacuating 15000 in a day!1/2

When we enforce accountability, you call it politics. We will not allow you this escape route to hide your failures.

The truth is that I woke you up about the scale of tragedy when I spoke to Home Minister on 18th June and tweeted about this.

He went to the extent of saying that nobody including himself was allowed to land anywhere.
- Sushma Swaraj (@SushmaSwarajbjp) July 1, 2013
We did not go to Uttarakhand because Home Minister made a public statement that our visit will hamper the rescue effort.

Unfortunately, the Government in Delhi has also failed to provide the requisite leadership.

They ought to be dismissed for being inept and incompetent.
- Sushma Swaraj (@SushmaSwarajbjp) July 1, 2013
I am sorry to say that the Government in Uttarakhand has not been able to rise to the occasion.
