Hyderabad, May 21 (UNI) BRS working president and former Minister KT Rama Rao (KTR) has strongly criticised the Congress-led Telangana government for its failure to retrieve the bodies of workers trapped in the Srisailam Left Bank Canal (SLBC) tunnel.

Taking to social media platform X (formerly Twitter), KTR wrote: "In a fully functional government under a competent leader, you could have brought back humans from Mars in three months. But since it is the Congress, they have failed to even bring out the dead bodies from the SLBC tunnel."

He directly targeted Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, saying, "Aren’t you ashamed, Revanth Reddy?! Despite all the big statements and questionable deadlines, all you have done since February 22nd is next to nothing."

Calling for compassion and accountability, KTR added, "At the very least, have the empathy to issue a condolence statement and meet the families of the deceased. Apologise to them. Any half-decent human would have already done that."
