Death toll of Krishna river Ferry mishap near Vijayawada has now reached to 21. Instant reason for this disaster is said to be overload of boat that led it capsized in river waters.
But then, who should be blamed for this great tragedy? Should we blame on the owner of the boat who didn't have experience in running it or else should officials be alleged who let private boats offering their services in river? Else, should we blame some of the officials who had put investments in private boats thus indulging in corruption? Though these are said to be valid reasons, there is another big reason behind it.
Opposition parties and some of the analysts found great fault with Chandrababu Naidu led TDP of AP state. According to them, CBN is crazy about unnecessary expenditure and over board publicity during some festivals and in some of the events. Earlier, 29 pilgrims were killed in a stampede at Pushkara Ghat in Rajahmundry during Godavari pushkaralu. AP government was then immensely lambasted by everyone for not making proper arrangements at ghats for people's safety. Besides, the government expended for unnecessary sets in Godavari.
Right now, the government is blamed for not arranging sufficient number of boats and for not providing river policing at river Krishna. Above all, in spite of it being the last Sunday of Karthika Masam, the government hasn't made any additional arrangements.
