Political stuntsmanship over destruction

It was reported recently that Ms Gandhi undertook a 1-day tour of Gujarat and slammed the government over flood relief.

Ms Gandhi, in all her political stuntmanship, does a great disservice to the people of Gujarat by demoralizing the state government machinery, and distracting the relief and aid being provided to the people in this hour of need.

Ms Gandhi realizes well that in a nation of poor people she would get votes by pretending to espouse the cause of the poor, as the Left have done for decades. And of course the result is for all to see.

It is impossible for Ms Gandhi not to know the state of the state. As such, she didnt need to do an arial survey just to be able to make trivial complaints about doles not being paid promptly at some places, and 3/4th of the state being under water.

Had she not wasted the resources on the airplane and the press conference, they could have been used for some more food packets dropping sorties.

It should also be investigated if only as an MP and a non-constitutional post of leader of the opposition was she entitled to use air force airplane.
