Morigaon (Assam) [India], July 15 (HBTV): A team of AICC and Assam Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) visited the flood-hit Morigaon district of Assam on Monday to meet flood victims.

The Congress team was led by AICC General Secretary Jitendra Singh, Assam Congress president Bhupen Kumar Borah, MLAs Debabrata Saikia, Jakir Hussain Sikdar, Rekibuddin Ahmed, and Nandita Das. They distributed flood materials among the flood-affected people in the Mayong area of Morigaon district.

AICC General Secretary Jitendra Singh accused both the central and state governments of not providing sufficient relief materials to the flood victims.

"There is double engine government at the centre and Assam, but they failed to solve the flood problem in the state in last 10 years," Jitendra Singh said.

He further said that, Congress will raise the issue in parliament as well as in the state assembly.

"We want to solve this problem. But what the BJP government did in last 10 years. More than 30 lakh people of the state have affected in the deluge," Jitendra Singh said. 

On the other hand, Assam Congress president Bhupen Kumar Borah told ANI that, more than 90 people died and 30 lakh people affected in flood in Assam, but the government has not taken the issue seriously.  

"Both governments have failed to solve the flood problems in Assam," Bhupen Kumar Borah said.
