After grand photo-op, Congress trucks for Uttarakhand stall Rishikesh: On Monday morning, in a well-orchestrated photo-op, Congress President Sonia Gandhi flagged off over 100 trucks loaded with food supplies, medicines and other materials meant for Uttarakhand, where thousands of people were stranded in flash floods. Three days later, the trucks are parked at Rishikesh in Uttarakhand. They remain fully loaded. Congress leaders admitted they had no idea of where the trucks were. "I don't have any information but I know there are youth Congress members in Rudraprayag. Thanks for this information, I am not coordinating but will pass this on to those members," said party spokesperson Sandeep Dikshit. The drivers allegedly said that after reaching the state capital of Dehradun, they were asked to drive higher in the mountains to an area named Srinagar. But they are stranded en route with fuel running out. The drivers say nobody from the party or the government has contacted them with either assistance or directions. They claim they have no money to pay for meals or fuel. "Should we start selling these items, then," asked one of them. The enormity of both the disaster and the military's rescue operation in Uttarakhand has not inhibited parties from searching for political advantage. The trucks were sent by the Congress after a newspaper report said BJP leader Narendra Modi had pulled "a Rambo act" by flying into Uttarakhand with bureaucrats and evacuating 15,000 tourists from Gujarat, a report the BJP has dismissed as exaggerated. Mr Gandhi arrived in Uttarakhand on Monday even as Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde said that visits by VVIPs distract attention from rescue operations. The Congress has said that Mr Gandhi is present "as a citizen" and is not using state resources to travel to different parts of Uttarakhand. http://www.ndtv.com/article/india/uttarakhand-after-grand-photo-op-congress-trucks-for-uttarakhand-stall-384419?pfrom=home-topstories

Dehradun: Congress leaders got into fisticuffs with Telugu Desam Party politicians on Wednesday over providing assistance to pilgrims from Andhra Pradesh stranded after floods in Uttarakhand. The leaders of both parties fought each other at the Jolly Grant Airport in Dehradun. Congress and TDP have already been engaged in war of words over relief operations in the rain-ravaged state but it finally came to blows. TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu had called on hospitalised pilgrims from Andhra in Dehradun on Tuesday and had written to Union Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde over, what he alleges, inadequate arrangements made for their return. Commenting on the scuffle, Naidu said, "Andhra Pradesh government failed to help those stuck in Uttarakhand. Congress government and Centre is not doing enough for pilgrim." Congress is the ruling government in Andhra Pradesh, while TDP is the main opposition.

So first the trucks waited for 3 days for Pappu to return from his birthday bash and now they are stuck with no help from party officials or the Uttrakhand Govt......the level of apathy shown by the Congress Govt. (be it the Central Govt or the Uttrakhand Govt) on this issue is just astounding. I would go so far as to say that these Govts (especially the Uttrakhand Govt which didn't act at all for the first 2-3 days of this tragedy) are directly responsible for the deaths of many people in this whole situation.

O these feckers should be jailed for such stunts. I am sure there must be something in the legal book against this.

Nah. AFAIK almost all the acts on such matters would be so vague that no case could stand in the courts.
