He asked opposition parties not to politicize the situation. He said "Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao was reviewing the heavy rains in the state from time to time. He has also spoken to the officials of the municipal department. GHMC Commissioner and other top officials down to the lower level staff in the field were all working in Hyderabad city too."
He added "All the holidays of municipal employees have been cancelled. We are reviewing the situation from time to time through phones and other media. People are facing some trouble due to the incessant rains. So far precautions were taken without any loss of life. Our main objective is to avoid loss of life,”
