Drought Selfie

Heavy rain over the last one week has triggered a warning of floods for the IT hub of Hyderabad. 1,000 villagers have been evacuated from the Karimnagar district, 165 km from Hyderabad, where water is spilling over from the Manair Dam which is still under construction.

Maharashtra Minister Pankaja Munde, under fire for clicking a selfie during her visit to drought-hit Marathwada, has found support from an unlikely quarter today with a senior Congress leader saying the BJP leader snapped photo as she has done work in the region.

Under fire from not just the opposition but also ally Shiv Sena, the BJP's Maharashtra Minister Pankaja Munde has explained that she posted selfies on her tour of parched Latur on the weekend in appreciation of the work done there by the local administration for drought relief.
