Infighting within TMC over lapses in Cyclone Amphan relief work
Posted May 28th, 2020, 10:41 AM IST
The crack widened so much that state consumer affairs minister Sadhan Pande on Tuesday publicly tore into his Cabinet colleague Firhad Hakim, also Kolkata’s
outgoing mayor. Hakim, municipal affairs minister, is chair of the board of
administrators at Kolkata Municipal Corporation as Trinamul Congress’ five-year term ended.
Pande, Manicktala MLA, said: "When many patients are coming, ventilator and
other facilities must be kept ready. The KMC should have been more prepared.
Guidance was needed for that. Hakim did not sit with city MLAs, who should have been consulted for ideas. He could have called all of us, including Sovan Chatterjee (Hakim’s predecessor, Behala East MLA) to a meeting to seek our opinion because the MLAs have greater responsibilities and capacities than councillors. But he didn’t do it."
Hakim, in the eye of the storm, responded: "Like Rome was not built in a day, the
damage (from) such a big natural disaster cannot disappear at one go. It’s easier to criticise than work Work can’t be done by consulting all elected representatives during an emergency."
